Perfect. Canada went to the metric system in the 70's if I recall. Maybe it was the right thing to do but it has been a mess with the US right next door. I was luck I guess because when I was in school the change was taking place so we were taught both.

Same here. Plus everything at work (Chemicals) is measured in °C...so it make it easier for me to understand.
