A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

Be civil and act in good faith.
No trolling.

Most stuff is metric already. Some people still use imperial for pop culture things that are mostly influenced by the US. Construction materials are imperial because we are the major lumber supplier for the US and everything is cut imperial. If that were to change, maybe the construction industry would start to change too. Buy our lumber!
