How to measure things like a Canadian?
(lemmy.zip)
Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.
A lot of these are more to do with age or products imported from the US than anything. For example with the temperature one, I would never give the temperature of anything in f, but my parents' hot tub only displays temperature in f. Also my parents follow a flowchart like this much more than I do because they grew up with a more mixed system. Like they will sometimes give distance in miles whereas I would only ever in km. However there are some of these that even I do. Like I would only ever give my height and weight on feet, inches, and pounds.
I work with a lot of French people (guess my city) and I had to memorize my height and weight in metric like some sort of crazy person!
That being said metric is truly superior and I use it in almost everything else other than air temp while baking or roasting.

Ottawa
Moncton?
Are there a lot of French people in Moncton?
From the 2016 census, half of the population there could speak French.
I didn't mean francos, I meant French. My city is full of people fresh from France. French speaking Canadians use feet and inches like the rest of Canada.
After rereading your comments that should've been obvious to me. Although I somehow missed it first time around.
