I (and most Canadians) use metric with exceptions: - feet+inches for height: 5'9" not 175cm - lb.s for weight, and ALWAYS lb+oz for newborns - liquor: "40 ouncer" ~1.18L or "26er" (aka "a fifth" (gallon) US) ~750ml. Beer usu. 341ml bottle/can = 12oz. And: US oz, not Imperial 😵‍💫 - °F for baking

Many (most?) Cdn kitchens have a fridge magnet or corkboard chart that converts recipe quantities, e.g. cups / oz / Tbsp / tsp to ml, and oven temps (F to C for baking).

Our loss. We’ll console ourselves with our maple syrup and vast assortment of non-venomous spiders, and toast you in absentia. Keep sending the odd Hemsworth brother or two to our hemisphere, would you please?

Ohhhhhhh drooling! Over the Hemsworth, although maple syrup isn't bad either. And NZ is not full of venomous things, so I'm STILL wary as didn't grow up knowing one spider from another!

Coming from the land of platypuses, cane toads, cube-pooing wombats, and drop bears - or if you prefer, Kiwis (fruit, bird, nation?) and hobbits, to say nothing of vegemite: ahem 🙄 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 Oh, well played, Lars, well played. Actually, I'm a hybrid! Born kiwi, but mother was a platypus, her mother a kiwi, etc. Came here at 18. To the land of poisonous creatures!
