Metrication in Canada
Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and while Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes, there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy. This is mainly due to historical ties with the United Kingdom (before metrication), the traditional use of the imperial system of measurement in Canada, close proximity to the United States, and to public opposition to metrication during the transition period.〔(Canadians rebel against metric system )〕〔(A Canadian compromise between metric and imperial )〕
==Before conversion==
(詳細はImperial measurement system, labelled as "Canadian units of measurements" under Schedule II, Section 4 of the ''Weights and Measures Act'' (R.S., 1985, c. W-6).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Weights and Measures Act: Canadian units of measure )〕 These units have the same name and, with the exception of capacity measures such as the gallon, the same values as US customary units. For example, before metrication in Canada, gasoline was sold by the imperial gallon (about 4.55 litres). In cross-border transactions, it was often confusing whether values quoted in pints, gallons, tons, etc. were referring to the US values (3.75 litres) or the imperial values of these units.
