Stuck in the Imperial past

Re: Yes all that snow was a pain. But come on, this is Canada, Jan. 21

I was surprised and a bit annoyed to read, “two feet (or 60 centimetres for you fans of the metric system)” in reference to last week’s snowfall. Canada went metric in 1975 (51 years ago). Your parent paper, the Toronto Star, acknowledged the conversion on April 1, 2015, publishing an item acknowledging Canada is metric. “Forty years ago, Celsius came to Canada. Its reception? Brrrrrrrrr.” Maybe you should have written, “60 centimetres (or two feet for you holdouts of times gone by).” Bert Dandy Niagara Falls
