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.
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

Good point - but they sell it by the metre. Aaarrrggghhh
True. It’s a Canadian thing.
