That last bit is not too surprising since I seem to recall someone (Pat 
Naughtin?) mentioning that even in Australia one of the last Imperial 
measurements to disappear was a person's height.

"Vehicle speeds" should probably be amended to all highway signs. Distances, 
overhead clearances, etc are all metric. But a lot of Canadians apparently use 
inches and pounds for personal height and weight.

Probably because Canada is only a "supposedly" metric country. ;-) 

Canada does very well with temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, longer 
distances and vehicle speeds. Other areas of Canadian life (as far as I can 
tell from down here in the USA) are all over the map when it comes to metric 
vs. Imperial.

Amazingly Canada’s wonderland has height restrictions in inches only, which I 
find amazing for a supposedly metric country
