No, see, when Canadian govt decided to switch to metric long time ago, they didn't go all the way. A big mess. Like many other things in this country.
Weight is in either kilograms or pounds, - you can see either one on grocery price tags.
Volume is in liters, but what happened to other decimal units like cubic meters or cubic centimeters (aka milliliters)? Instead, there are cubic inches.
Length is metric only in road-related measures like road distances in kilometers or gas in liters per 100 km, but everywhere else there are feet and inches.
Area is measured either in square kilometers for really big places like province or country, or in square feet and inches everywhere else. You won't see square meters.

There are instances where you still see Imperial measures, but by law anything sold must be decried in Metric terms, we are charged for also line in litres, we are billed for water and natural gas for our homes in cubic meters, etc.
However, because of our close proximity, and huge trading volume with the US, products that are sold in both countries are listed in both metric and imperial measures.
In fact, I see metric units on labels of most US mad goods while shopping in the US.
