Pretty much everything here is now measured in metric, with the exception of building materials. We have 464g butter packages instead of 1lb, and so on. The grocery store that I do most of my shopping at posts the prices per pound on their produce and whatnot, but when it rings up on the cash register the price is always per kg. Building materials, though, are still all in imperial measure. At least, I have never seen metric building materials around here with the sole exception of a pallet of cement blocks that I ordered a few years ago that showed up measured in metric. > Sask didn't mean anything to me, now I assume it's a cold province of .ca.
