Are Canadians Lazy?

I found this article that has a map of the USA, with the names of the states changed to names of foreign nations with equivalent GDP. (2019 data.)

https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/putting-americas-huge-21-5t-economy-into-perspective-by-comparing-us-state-gdps-to-entire-countries/

This article also presents this analysis:

"America’s third-largest state economy – New York with a GDP in 2019 of $1.73 trillion – produced slightly more economic output last year than the entire country of neighboring Canada ($1.70 trillion). As a separate country, New York would have ranked as the world’s 10th largest economy last year, ahead of No. 11 Canada ($1.70 trillion), No. 12 Russia ($1.64 trillion) and No. 13 Korea ($1.63 trillion). And it required a labor force in Canada of 20.4 million workers, or more than twice the size of New York’s (9.5 million) labor force to produce roughly the same amount of economic output last year! More evidence of the world-class productivity of American workers."

I'm going to say that Canadians aren't necessarily lazy. They're probably actually making stuff and fixing stuff and shipping stuff, whereas New York has a shit ton of overpriced paper shufflers.
