If you subtract all the states that end in 'a' then the states is a much smaller country.
Whats with the arbitrary subtractions?

Lakes are part of our territory. Not sure why you would exclude them.

There's dirt at the bottom of those lakes - that's Canada too.

Hah, that was me.
The link in the OP was a redirect from a search of "List of the world's largest countries". Standard definition is that that includes all area, not just land area, so I repointed it to the list that goes by total area.
The article icarus was referring to is still here, and lists Canada as fourth by land area:

I see that if we invaded the USA and subjugated them to our socialist ways, we would surpass Russia as #1. Get it done, Harper!
