And to make matters worse pints aren't legal units in Canada so bars can serve whatever they want... I like the European approach with marked glasses and allowance for head. The UK glasses all have the pint marks with the inspector number on them which is kind of neat.
Pints are legal in Canada and covered under the Fairness at the Pumps Act.

Pints of draft beer
Consider the following:
A pint contains 20 fluid ounces (568 millilitres) in Canada.
The limit of error for 20 fluid ounces is 0.5 fluid ounces (15 millilitres).
The foam (head) is not included in the measurement.
