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.

There is nothing Canada can do that will force the US to do anything at all. 😂
@carpediem But if they are unable to sell their ancient antiquated old measuring methods in Canada, they will be forced to switch.
That or Rump will immediately impose 200% sanctions again. lol.

@JamesBugman Good. Don't buy anything made in America. We'll do the same and avoid Canadian goods. Watch what happens. 😆
@carpediem Sorry to say, this is already happening. lol

@JamesBugman We're doing fine. So let's just keep it like that. You stop buying American goods, we won't buy Canadian goods. Works for me and everyone I know. That way everyone is happy.

@carpediem it's not just Canada though, is it? But I'm sure the USA will be fine just trading with Liberia and Myanmar.

@SpudMuffin Dream on. I see you're a Brit, so you have no clue what's actually going on in the world.

@carpediem when you say 'the world' you must mean 'the united states', because every day you have fewer trading partners and fewer allies.

@SpudMuffin Since the end of WW2, the US has been paying tariffs to our "friends" overseas. Now that the tables are turned, you're all whining like the babies we always knew you were. The fact is, you can't survive without US trade and protection. The US pays the vast majority of NATO funding. For decades, the losers in NATO haven't even been able to meet the 2% levy and the US covered the delta.

That's over. Trump is your daddy...isn't he? 😆 You need to get in line or big bag US prez will spank your childish butts.

You go right ahead and keep whining. We're laughing over here. You're especially entertaining. So please...don't stop 🫵 😂

@carpediem unlike the majority of Americans we know how tariffs work - that's why we find you so funny!

@SpudMuffin LOL... yeah you go with that.
