I'm not from Canada, but I have no objection to the metric system -- I think it was also supposed to become law in the US in the 70's also, but too many people complained and killed it off. The oz, lb, qt, gal, etc US system is archaic. I worked in a chemistry lab for several years, which has always been metric, and easily adapted to it; except when I have to convert ounces to grams, etc, which cannot be done (by me) without a calculator. Everyone would be used to it my now, if it had occurred. The metric system is a mainly 1's, 10's, 100's, 1000's etc, so the liters/100 km converts to gallons/62.5 miles in US. That would be clutzy in the US, but should work for Canada just fine--as would km/liter -- whichever a person gets used to.
