I was listening to a news program on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) 
tonight on which a public official in British Columbia was talking about the 
effects of ice blockages on one of their rivers and the worse effects of the 
breakup of those blockages.

I was pleased (and a bit surprised) to hear him speak of distances in 
kilometers and temperature in degrees Celsius (with no translation to Imperial 
either by him or by the reporter or by the presenter at any point during or 
after the interview).

I guess if the Canadians can do it in the teeth of an "Imperial" USA right 
along their border, I imagine we can eventually convert eventually, too!

Cheers,
Ezra
