Everything everywhere was surveyed in imperial measurements. As a surveyor in a previous career, metric was the best thing that could have happened. Maps in imperial scales are miserable.
For on, that isn’t true, and also from manitoba west they built the grid road system, everything is a mile apart. The system essentially works by descending halves, stapling metric and 1.6 into it was an idiot move. People that really are surveyors understand that, I imagine you were a pole holder.
