Sadly also a Canadian problem. We're nominally a metric country, but we're very much a hybrid. When we went to metric, many things still stayed in customary units, but with metric names. I'll likely never ask someone to go get me 454g of sugar from the grocery store, it'll be a pound. Your 2x4 is going to be 8 feet long. You're going to use 1/2" bolts. My generation does consistently use litres and celsius though!
