In actual fact, Canada is quite far ahead of the US in medal earnings.

Consider that the population of the US is 295,734,134 and they have 13
medals. On a per capita basis, this gives them = 0.0000000440 medals per
person.


Consider that most of the American people live in climates where snow is
something they watch on the weather channel whereas Canadians, before global
warming anyway, learned to ski almost as soon as they learned to walk
otherwise they'd be stuck inside 9 months of the year.
