  • There will be holdouts. In my part of Canada all the rural roads are laid out in a 1 mile x 2 mile grid. Nobody every says a farm is 3.2km away. It’s 2 miles. Even changing all the road signs is cheaper than moving roads to make more sense in the metric system.

    Otherwise for long-ish distances we’re completely metric.

    I also had to sign a reciept when I used tap at a gas station in North Dakota. Stange place, the USA.
