    Hahah it’s Celsius, Canada loves blending everything, so not surprised they didn’t make their own or just ripped the usda, but I think the usda covers Canada in the maps I was looking at.

        How the hell have I never seen this glorious thing before in my life.

        One caveat though, sports speeds are usually imperial from what I’ve seen.

          Glorious? This thing is disgusting lol. A cultural abomination.

          Maybe dependent on the sport? I can only speak for hockey, but I always remember slapshots measured in km/h. Makes sense if imperial is used on US-centric sports tho. Do we really need to add more branches to this chart 😮‍💨

      Canada has its own zone hardiness map. It takes many more factors into account than the American one does.

        Huh til, I guess I never gave its much thought since according to that my place is the same in both hardiness maps!

        I always knew there was multiple factors, I didn’t know the us was so simple.

          I only found out this year. CBC was talking about it this spring when the US updated theirs and said Canada was working on a new one but it would take longer because it had more variables. Still waiting for the update…

      As a brit, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Canada uses kilometres instead of miles (we use miles / yards here and it’s daft).

      Then I reached the company gym and saw everything was in lbs :(

        I work in Construction, so most stuff is designed to be multi market, so hardly anything is in metric or it’s “specialty”.
