Will you switch to the Metric System?
(lemm.ee)
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:
What size is a Canadian glass of beer? A British pint (568ml) or even fraction thereof, the same but with an American pint (about 470ml), or an even number of decilitres as in continental Europe?
Generally, we use imperial, not US customary units, though there are exceptions. Weights and Measures act has a pint at 568ml, but I swear I've also seen both us pints and 5dL depending on country of origin.
It's a mess of mixed units all over the place, some by proxy, other by legacy.
I can order a pint of beer or a 12oz glass of wine
