Countries That Don’t Use the Metric System

O.K. I was thinking retail not cunits. I notice on the financial reports lumber is still quoted by a 1000 board feet. (I think)
Try exporting lumber that isn't metric. When was the last time you've bought a sheet of plywood that wasn't metric?
In July I bought a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood and lots of 4' X 8' sheets of gyproc in the past 6 months.
I guess you can do a hard conversion.
I notice on the news when giving descriptions of lost or wanted people they always use metric (generally to several places of decimals) but coincidentally it works out to an exact imperial figure like 6' and 180 lbs. -
What was the thickness?
When it was the Liberals and their scandal the Conservatives played it for all its
worth and now the shoe is on the other foot. Two things going on here one its
about the perception of honesty itself and trust in an institution. The other thing
is this. Harper came to office stating things like this would not happen. He was
the one who appointed more than one person who might have done a criminal
deed the investigation continues. In parliaments the opposition will attack any
government in power to destabilize the powers that be its their job. Harper did it
to the Liberals and now karma is in full swing in return.
So, when the guy driving the bus is weaving all over the road, do you just figure that all other drivers are the same and brace for the crash ?The "their all the same" argument is just silly.
The IQ of a committee is the IQ of the stupidest person on the committee divided by the number of people on the committee.Poor analogy- there are in fact some good bus drivers, but I've yet to see a group of politicians who has managed to sustain functionality, integrity, and efficiency.

I hardly think this scandal, and I agree it is a scandal, is even close to the criminal activity that went on during Adscam.
OK, so it's a size 8 instead of a size 12 shoe :lol:
