Why are tides so small at the equator?

I googled for almost 10 minutes.

And I read this, which was pretty handy
https://scijinks.gov/tidal-curiosities/

But I have the impression that tides are smaller at the equator.

Evidence:
a) I've been around it a few times
b) The two highest tidal areas are Alaska and NE Canada (thanks google)

Can someone explain?
