Canada tried to go 100% metric in the late 70s early 80s but typically botched that process and now we have an integrated system which is more confusing than imperial was by itself. We build our houses using inches but do our driving distances and speed using kms. Had we just gone totally 100% metric in 1980, we would be long past the hassle of the conversion and been enjoying the benefits.

The metric system is a far better system in all ways esp for linear measurements used in construction. All weights and measures are multiplied and divided by 10. How easy is that?
