Total land area: 9,093,507

You are counting ocean as part of Canada, a thing not represented on maps.

Imagine being this condescending and wrong.

No oceans were counted. But the total area does includes lakes and rivers.

And I already said earlier that the US slightly larger when you just look at land area. It's no where near 10% though.

Your numbers add up to about 1% difference in size, not 10%
