Yes Daniel but...
Well, keep in mind that Toronto is a bit more cosmopolitan than say, where I live. You ask the kids in the groery store for a pound of sliced ham and you get a bit of a blank stare till them remember that that's 454 grams.
I think the know this becuase sugar is sold by the gram.
Temperature is a better example of this. I remember the day (sep 6-77, I *think*) Canada switched to metric... I was dirving to aforementioned uni.
I know what 72F means or 80F. You tell me it's gonna be 21 tomorrow and I *think* that's warm. I think. Maybe. I dunno.
The point is kids that have grown up withit and know nothing else have taken to metric 100%. Some of us old farts. Now OTOH my parents know about all this celcius stuff so go figure.
I like grams for grocerty stuff, it's more precise, but celcius is more course than farenheit and not as usefull, to me anyway.
I don't know anybody that used kilometers for distance. That's aoways miles, and miage is always "miles per gallon" here from what I see, not l-100km or whatever.
