The worst part of people constantly talking about ICE, even non-Americans (why? non-Americans ? Don't you have anything better to talk about?) is that you can't even mute the keyword. But I guess I'll have to, so sorry if I miss your posts about the winter Olympics or your favorite frozen sweet.

For example, Canada and Russia appear much smaller in their true relative size compared to their depiction in a standard Mercator projection.
