Kilometres.

A meter is a device, a metre is a unit of length.

And, it's kilo metres, not kilom etters.

It's like the difference between micrometre and micrometer.

I don’t know who I am anymore. For years, hating Justin Trudeau wasn’t just a pastime—it was my identity, my purpose, the fuel that kept me going. Every scandal, every policy, every smug press conference gave me something to rally against, something to sharpen my arguments and justify my frustration. And now? Now he’s gone, and I’m adrift in a world that suddenly feels empty. Who am I without the daily outrage, without the certainty that everything wrong in Canada could be traced back to him? I spent so long defining myself by my opposition to Trudeau that I never stopped to think about what came next. Now that he’s out, I feel as lost as a ship with no lighthouse—no villain to fight, no cause to cling to, just an unsettling silence where my rage used to be.

You have been a victim of weaponized disinformation.

Justin was just the face of a craven centrist party who leans whatever way the public will vote them in for. He just was a popular and somewhat irreverent and surprising figure and he caught fire with voters, and then when the Liberals did the same shit they always did but just with his sunny presence stamped on it, the disinformation trolls led you to believe he was the person responsible for all of that. When he's only a part of it really, and a massive engine drives everything the party does, funded by deep pocketed people who control everything in truth, and also on the other side pay the people who feed you disinformation from the conservatives with their cringe little commercials and big talk every time Trudeau and the party misstepped. A lot of people held their nose and voted for him because they don't want the conservatives, and I'll hold my nose and do it for Carney too, but I'm sick to death of old white men.

I really recommend you learn what disinformation is before you decide on any other beliefs. Here is a primer. https://www.cna.org/...

We got two Trudeaus and two invocations of the War Measures/Emergencies Act but only one Metrication commission.

We need a second Metrication Commission to finish Metrication.

How do you measure things in feet? Everyone's feet are different sizes, that doesn't seem like a reproducible way to make anything.

Easy, since Henry the VIII the foot was defined as 12 in. What's an inch you ask? Well an inch is 3 barleycorns placed side by side. Which 3 barleycorns? That doesn't matter it's close enough.

if he’s 6’ tall

Not sure what unit of measurement this is, but most reports list his height as ~186cm

Okay? Still not sure what unit that is.

This sub is for Canada, where every unit of measuring length is based on the meter!

Apparently six apostrophes is equal to 182.88 cm. Seems like a rather arbitrary value to me.
