Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

A big reason is, at least for me, I'm one generation removed from someone who lived when Canada was on Imperial. It'll take a few generations to get rid of it. You can even see it in the replies here, as people who are certainly younger than me are talking about how they're using metric exclusively for things that I still swap between.

That's the ONLY reason. I'm quite fond of metric.
