Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

I work with a lot of French people (guess my city) and I had to memorize my height and weight in metric like some sort of crazy person!

That being said metric is truly superior and I use it in almost everything else other than air temp while baking or roasting.

Are there a lot of French people in Moncton?

From the 2016 census, half of the population there could speak French.

I didn't mean francos, I meant French. My city is full of people fresh from France. French speaking Canadians use feet and inches like the rest of Canada.

After rereading your comments that should've been obvious to me. Although I somehow missed it first time around.
