To this day I have no idea what a pound is in kilograms. You're Canadian, guys! Use metric system.
Ah but we Canadians tend to use a terrifying mix of both systems. People and animals are generally measured in pounds and feet/inches. Distances walked may be measured in miles, but driven in kilometers (speed is in kph). Large distances will of course always be in kilometres (or AUs

)
Mechanical things will generally be measured in centimetres. Building supplies, hoewever, (ie lumber) are usually in inches.
Temperature is always celsius... except when talking to old people or Americans, so we tend to know farenheit, at least roughly.
Acres are used for land, not hectares.
And finally millilitres and litres for liquids, grams and kilograms for most foods (although pounds get used too for butter or potatoes for example), and occasionally for milk people still use pints, quarts, and gallons though of course litres is are normal (alcohol is also often expressed in ounces for bottles and of course a pint of beer).
Also I enjoyed this Feed Dump.
