Canada overcame the strong influence of the nearby USA, and began
their conversion to the metric system several years ago.

The number of countries that officially use the 'old imperial' or 'customary'
system of weights and measures, and their names, are easy to remember.
There are now exactly three of them: Liberia, Burma, and the USA.

Officially, metric.

We don't, some older people still use the imperial system because that's what they were raised with. Officially Canada uses the metric system though.

The Housing construction industry still uses the imperial scale, 2x4's 4x8 sheets of plywood, gyproc etc. The Plumbing is all Inch size for piping, fittings etc.

Although Canada officially uses the metric system, many Canadians still use the imperial system. This is especially true for weight measurements.
