Leading up until 1970, Canada used the Imperial measurement system, which was labelled as Canadian units of measurement. With this system, gasoline was sold by the gallon but a Canadian gallon was not the same as an American gallon. For Canada, a gallon was 4.55 litres, but an American gallon is 3.79 litres.

Last Edited April 24, 2015. Metric conversion was the process of making metric units — such as metre, kilogram and degree Celsius — the common units of measurement in Canada, leaving the British imperial system (with units such as yard, gallon and pound) behind. The process was fraught with political interference and public resistance, and

The metrication logo used in Canada during the 1970s and 1980s. Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and ceased in 1985. While Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes, there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy and everyday life today. This is mainly due to historical ties with the United Kingdom, the traditional

Tale of the tape In terms of pure measurement itself, bilingualism is more evident. "In the past few years, we have seen the balance start to even and then tip toward English/Metric tape rules (vs. straight imperial measure) in our ProTape categories" says Louise Fair, Commercialization Manager for Hand Tools and Storage in Canada for Stanley Black & Decker.

Officially, Canada is a metric country since the 1970s. However, the 1970 Weights and Measures Act (WMA) was revised in 1985 and allows for "Canadian units of measurement" in section 4 (5), itemized in Schedule II. As Canada is bilingual, the lawmakers in Ottawa saw it fitting to make Canada also bimensuric. (The word "bimensuric" is from the

According to Joseph B. Reid, President Emeritus, Canadian Metric Association: The use of the metric system for all purposes has been legal in Canada since 1873, but in fact only the scientific community used it until 1970 because its use was purely voluntary. It was only after the adoption of resolutions favoring metrication by associations of

More than half (56%) disagree and would carry on with the International Metric System. "Practically two-in-five Canadians aged 55 and over (38%) would go back to the Imperial system of units," says Mario Canseco, President of Research Co.

Trudeau wanted Canada to become a very different country from the USA. Over the next few years, he initiated many programs towards this goal, including a government-run universal health care system, government-backed mortgage lending schemes for new home-owners - and metrication. The first metric products appeared at the beginning of the 1970s.

The imperial system of measurement uses units of inch, foot, yard, and mile to measure length and pound and ton to measure weight. For capacity, the units used are cup, pint, quart, and gallons. Both the imperial system and the metric system measure time in seconds, minutes, and hours. The equivalencies of measurements are shown in the table below.

Oh yeah almost forgot - hot dogs, 10 per pack are metric, hot dog buns, 12 per bag are imperial. In order to end up with the same number of each you would have to buy 6 packs of hot dogs (60) and 5 bags of hot dog buns (60). Obviously a conspiracy by the hot dog industry to increase the hot dog consumption of the OCD consumer.

Time as a measurement of distance in Canada by Heidi Vlach. For a lot of Canadians, an hour is a measurement of distance. Technically impossible, but it's true.
