This sounds fun. To follow in these Euros' footsteps, go ahead, ask me anything.

From the igloos we live in, to the moose we ride to work. All the way to the gallons of maple syrup we consume. Everything is on the table!

Is the Imperial system used at all in Canada?

Negative. We use the metric system.
There are only 3 countries in the world that still use the imperial system and the U.S is one of them (losers) :wave:

Yeah, we only partially use it here in the UK. Only used to measure milk, beer (both usually in pints), and speed (as well as distances on roads). All maps and stuff use metric but do include imperial and nautical scale bars.

I've heard Canada is the perfect blend of USA and Denmark, can you confirm?

It's hard to say; I think we're pretty unique. Nothing comes to mind when I think of what we may be a blend of. We're more polite and educated than the U.S, and nobody knows what Denmarkians (nailed it) are.

Did you know that Nova Scotia is latin for New Scotland? Did you know a lot of towns in Nova Scotia share names with a lot of Scottish towns?

I did not but that solidifies the fact that they're permanently drunk over there. Good to know!
