Force US to switch to metric
Canada should implement a rule that anything the US sells in Canada must use Metric measurements, and not a conversion from Imperial to Metric. That might force them to switch to Metric finally.

It’s been slow, but many things made in the US are metric now.
@jackson55 I went to HomeDepot here in Canada last week and everything is Imperial. It's a sad disgrace that we have to put up with that garbage in these modern times.
I was trying to remember a screw size I needed, it was something like 8/32.. no that can't be right because that is 4/16... no 2/8.. no 1/4 and it definitely was not 1/4. lol.

@JamesBugman Imperial sizes will be with us for a long time. Too much equipment still operating with std fasteners. Cars and motorcycles made in the US are metric.
