À propos de cet audio

 Canadians measure weather in Celsius but cook using Fahrenheit. We drink alcohol by the ounce and soda by the litre. Why? This unholy amalgam of metric and imperial is the hard-won truce of a chaotic war between a technocracy-obsessed bureaucracy and a liberty-loving people who refused to submit to measurement tyranny. Get ready for a wild story featuring angry farmers, lawbreaking butchers, constitutional lawsuits, a “freedom” gallons-only gas station — and the unquenchable Canadian spirit of patriotic pragmatism.
