A Canadian pound still is a pound, last time I checked... And 2000 pounds are a ton. What I think you confused about is the term "metric ton" which is actually 1000 kilos.... Since 1 kilo equals 2.2 pounds, multiply pounds by 1000, to get the answer to "How many pounds in a 'metric ton'?... Which would be 2,200 lbs. If you ate trying to convert between the Canadian 'imperial weights' (pre-metric) and the American 'Standard weights' measurements, then you would have to understand that the Imperial system was slightly smaller than the 'American Standard' system, yet the divisions were the same. Thus, a ton was still 2000 pounds, but based on their own measurement of the pound. I may sound a little confusing, but if you re-read my answer, you will get it. Good luck and I hope i have answered your question.
