Metric in Canada
9/15/2009 at 3:21 PM
It has been over 30 years since the metric system was adopted in Canada, yet in many cases it has not been totally implemented.
For example, how much do you weigh? How tall are you? I bet you thought in pounds for your weight and feet and inches for your height.
When I go shopping, the weights for many items are displayed in both metric and imperial forums.
If you are 35 years of age or younger, I would think you would have been taught only the metric system in school.
Is it time Canada went totally metric?
