Is this the requirement for Canada? If it is, then stores showing pound
pricing in big print and kilogram in small print is illegal and those shops
need to be visited.

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
You don't need to require metric only. For example, The EU requirement is
that
the metric units are *required* and the imperial one optional. Where the
imperial ones are included they must not be of a bigger sized lettering
than the metric one.
This will probably be easier to enforce, and you don't actually have
to 'ban' anything.
