Canada began its transition away from the imperial measurement system more than 50 years ago. Now, a Victoria man is petitioning the federal government to finish the job, one kilogram, centimetre and litre at a time.
My local Canadian Tire has a nice big set of drawers labelled with a huge variety of metric and imperial fasteners - but it’s never stocked and if the one you want does happen to be there, it will not be in the correct place.
Trades - except electricians apparently
Try to buy wire in mm2 and watch the guy at the electrical supply counter look at you like you have 3 heads.
Tried to get an M5 bolt for my bicycle at a Canadian Tire once and the guy all but used the f-slur at me
