Indeed.

"The world's smallest continent and sixth largest country [Note:
Canada being the second largest country after Russia/Siberia] by
total area, Australia—-owing to its size and isolation—-is often
dubbed the "island continent", and is sometimes considered the
world's largest island."

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t
help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus
was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge
that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy
without condition, and then admit that we just don’t
want to do it.
