As I am sure was the case with most of you, I was always taught that Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world.

Wikipedia--far from perfect, I know--seems to suggest that Canada is in fact the 4th largest, behind Russia, China and the USA.

Can this be true? If you subtract all the lakes is the US really larger than Canada?
