Metric officialy, mixture in common use Explanation: Perhaps you'd like input from a Canadian! I can tell you that the official system has been metric since 1970, but both metric and imperial are used in practice. Canadians are accustomed to quoting some things in metric, others in imperial. For example, we are used to stating temperatures, distances and driving speeds in metric, our heights and weights in imperial (at least those of us of a "certain age"), and food sold by weight has both the price per Kg/g and lb/oz marked. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 01:39:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, "officially" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 01:40:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada |
