So, if its borders are straight lines in this projection, are they actually concave curves?

They follow lines of latitude and longitude so straight lines on a curved surface. It’s slightly untrue on the Eastern border that looks like a jagged edge due to the dominion land survey. But it was meant to be straight.

I suspected/assumed they were ‘true’ to the lines of latitude and longitude.
The amusing projection in green makes it obvious that the map projection is taking some liberties ;-)
