Never in my adult life have I used the imperial system. My school didn’t teach the imperial system, only conversions between metric and imperial. Based on recollection, my science classes utilized SI for everything. I hate the imperial system because it makes no sense, granted, I’m a scientist so I have different motivations than others. Most Americans won’t change to SI because they lack basic math skills and critical thinking in math.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
