Wow I was in Toronto and saw very little if any US Customary, it was all 
metric.  I saw ad's and signs and products metrically only labeled.  There is a 
lot of construction and the newspapers talked about square meters and square 
hectares of new space being added.  I didn't check the real estate ad's though. 
 

IKEA was doing a gimmick thing in Eaton Center. Push a button get a prize: A 
metric only tape measure with IKEA specific measurements on it for some of 
their products.  

Too me awhile but I changed my odometer to km for the entire trip, it felt 
great.

Amazingly Canada's wonderland has height restrictions in inches only, which I 
find amazing for a supposedly metric country
