Some explanation though, Canada adopted the metric system and converted to metric in the 70’s-80’s. I remember seeing street signs in imperial and signs advertising the conversion (“50mph is 80kph” and stuff), so a large portion of our population spent a good chunk of their lives on imperial, or grew up with those people as parents. So, what happened is, the signs changed, and our speedometers changed, but people’s brains still went “this is miles per hour”, and well, it kinda stuck.
Nope!

Well, if you insist… How far is it from Toronto to Ottawa? (bracing myself…)
