you could use an oblique Mercator projection, but that only makes one side of the northern hemisphere larger

When you produce or display maps that show all of Canada, what map projection do you most often use?
There is no right or wrong answer, I am simply curious to know about your preferred map projection.

Would this make GeoGuessr easier or harder?
Would you prefer to live in this map rather than the default one? Personally, I like how me and my bestie from Madagascar would become neighbors.
I don’t like the typical configuration of the interrupted Goode projection because it heavily skews Japan and neighbouring regions by positioning the central meridian for the Eurasian section closer to Europe. This may be convenient for those living around the Atlantic Ocean but it must be acknowledged that this design is not “neutral”.
極が点となる投影法を使った方がいいな。これは正角方位図法で投影し、縦方向に 66.7% に縮小してから逆変換し、ハンメル図法で投影し、その結果を縦方向に 150% に拡大した結果。
北極と南極が同時に見えてるのが特徴。フチ付近（中心から見て裏側）の歪み具合については、もっと賢く設計すればマシになるかも知れない。（私は投影法に関してはあまり賢くない。）
正距方位図法と正距円筒図法で同様の変換をした例。メルカトル図法と違って無限の彼方に吹っ飛ぶ事はない。投影の中心から見て裏側に、像がない部分が発生する。
