The metric system has been a legal system of weights and measure in the US since 1865. In the past they government did not think it had the right to force things down our throats. Seems that is an obsolete idea now.

Now just when did you say you Cannuks adopted the metric system?

Even living as I do in the USA, I'll take metric over imperial measures any
day. Perhaps someday even this country will go to a hard metric system--the
journey of a ten thousand li* begins with a single step, after all...


I think Jimmy Carter decreed that the USA would join step with the rest of the world and adopt the metric system.
Unfortunately, he seems to have been somewhat ahead of his time.
