Yes, lots of businesses in Canada do things the American way but if you go
to any Canadian government organization you will find they use the UK
format. I'm all for international standardization myself. Force the
Americans to get with the times and go metric, bunch of luddites.

In aviation they use feet for altitude and knots for speed. WTF is up with
that malarky? Wouldn't it just be less confusing to use metric for
everything?

We(tinw) don't want to use a format that is forced on us(tinu).

Freedom of choice is more important than your "international
standard".
