Thanks for the Canadian bits on the end! Appreciated that. Was interesting to see as a Vancouver Islander, that we and the other island on the east are the only ones that voted for the environmental party.

The Worldmapper cartogram is the most interesting.

I didn't realise the colours were randomly assigned. I always thought they should be the other way round.

3:27 the only map that should matter. Edit: i really like the other visualizations though.

Yes. The colors were flipped to associate Americans with "Red" ... the color of communism, fascism, and other far-Left ideologies. While "Blue" was the color of patriots for over a hundred years as in a 'true blue' patriot. An expression so common when I was a kid, it was used by both sides during the Vietnam war ... and yes, I checked, Google cannot find it. Another fact in my lying brain that's been 86'd ... which is really all you need to know.
