Canada did a sudden change and adjusted pretty well. Moved here recently and they're pretty consistently metric, though I see some use of Fahrenheit every so often, though I think that's by virtue of being close to the US.

Pretty mix in Canada, not as mix as UK but:

Pool and oven temps, height, weight, construction mesurment, cooking mesurments = imperial.

Outdoor temps, distance and speed = metric.

That's good 👍. I still have no idea how cold or hot it is if someone expressed temperature in Fahrenheit.
