Fill map of canada with different size circles

[Todd_Morgan]

How can I take a simple vector of Canada and spread a bunch of various sized circles over it to we see the country but with these many many circles making it up, but not overlapping? Sort of like this:

Hmmmm cool!! Wondering if I can do this with diamond shape instead of circle...

You could apply the Convert to shape > Rectangle effect to all the circles (not as a group, but individual). Followed by the transform effect to rotate the rectangles. Followed by another transform effect to sale them horizontally if needed.

Or use something like this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOMpdO_5Mk

In order to rotate the squares you first need to rotate the template image, then make Mosaic, then rotate the result. Bit complicated, but gets you there.
