Hahah it’s Celsius, Canada loves blending everything, so not surprised they didn’t make their own or just ripped the usda, but I think the usda covers Canada in the maps I was looking at.

How the hell have I never seen this glorious thing before in my life.

One caveat though, sports speeds are usually imperial from what I’ve seen.

Glorious? This thing is disgusting lol. A cultural abomination.

Maybe dependent on the sport? I can only speak for hockey, but I always remember slapshots measured in km/h. Makes sense if imperial is used on US-centric sports tho. Do we really need to add more branches to this chart 😮‍💨

As a brit, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Canada uses kilometres instead of miles (we use miles / yards here and it's daft).

Then I reached the company gym and saw everything was in lbs :(

I fucking hate how we measure long distances in miles, but short ones in metres, but human heights in feet, and buy cooking ingredients in grams but measure them in ounces, and human weights are in fucking stone, and liquids are in litres unless its milk or beer which are in pints, and...

hahaha yep

never a dull moment

I work in Construction, so most stuff is designed to be multi market, so hardly anything is in metric or it’s “specialty”.

Canada has its own zone hardiness map. It takes many more factors into account than the American one does.

Huh til, I guess I never gave its much thought since according to that my place is the same in both hardiness maps!

I always knew there was multiple factors, I didn’t know the us was so simple.

I only found out this year. CBC was talking about it this spring when the US updated theirs and said Canada was working on a new one but it would take longer because it had more variables. Still waiting for the update...
