Mr Bill Kelley. Forming any new government is much more difficult than it may seem at first (assuming it is not a dictatorship). Canada underwent metrication in 1970 (See first graphic at http://MetricPioneer.com/Metrication-America please) and the United States of America passed the Metric Act of 1866. Proponents of Cascadia propose to carve out a new nation from parts of Canada and parts of the USA; running any government would require establishing national measurement standards. For example: Speed Limit signs on roads in Canada measure kilometers per hour. You would be wise to consider this early on so you can avoid getting caught with egg on your face later.

I have two proposed constitutions for Cascadia, unfortunately, neither of them mention a measurement system. To be honest, I am not aware of any constitution that defines a measurement system. But don't let that stop you! If you feel that Cascadia would be a better place by an early adoption of the Metric system, you contribution would be welcomed!

Is there a Cascadia constitution? What measurement system does Cascadia propose? Would Cascadia cling to obsolete measures or kill the inch and join the world community and adopt SI? I am very eager for your response, which I might share with the United States Metric Association if your response is worthy of sharing. Kind regards, David Pearl www.MetricPioneer.com[1] 503-428-4917
