A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

Officially, Canada is an SI unit country. Canadians have a habit of using lbs and inches in everyday life, which is sad. I have been using only SI units for quite a few years now, but it definitely takes work.

To answer the spirit of your question: yes, I have re-affirmed my commitment to using metric. I have been angry about imperial units for a long time, I'm just more angry now.
