Kitchener Fence by-law

[plam]

Not really related, but I'm always amused by the way the cost of flooring has come to be quoted as "$X per sq ft", as opposed to "$X per sq yd".  Not only has it not converted to metric, it has converted to give the false impression of lower prices.

That, and the odd package sizes of many food and drink products in Canada - Imperial measure packaging just quoted in metric rather than changing the package sizing to something tidy.

I thought there were standard package size requirements for foods but can't find any reference to that on the Internet. I remember that when the GST was introduced, they had to change some regulation to allow 501mL tax-free containers to be sold.
