In Canada there was no organized opposition to metrication until 10 years after the start of the metric conversion program. It occured when the conversion of retail food scales started. People were afraid that they would have to ask for loose food in kilograms while they neither knew nor cared what a kilogram is. Joseph B.Reid 17 Glebe Road West Toronto M5P 1C8 Tel. 416 486-6071
