- goodcanadian 14y agoYes, though I think this is largely due to trade with the U.S.. It probably helps keep some standard units alive in Canada.
- gutnor 14y agoIndeed in country fully converted to metric, the old unit are converted to their closest sane metric equivalent. For example, my grand-mother still talks about buying a pound of stuff. However a pound is now understood as meaning 0.5 kg, we even learn it that way in school.
