The foot-dragging on units of measure seems as bad in Québec as it is in British Columbia (which I visit at least once per year).
This shows what happens if you don't legislate to require metric only. They do it to make it look cheaper, that's why the price/lb is so large compared with price/kg
I've long preferred m/s for wind, for the reason you state -- easy to visualize.
Me too. I've never really understood why windspeed has to be in the same units as for transport. Of course m/s is the proper SI unit for speed anyway.
