58. exactly on the metric
I think Canada converted in about 2 weeks, back when America started on some gradual plan that was eventually dropped. But at least now we have the 2 liter bottle, and I think the half liter is on the way. Also, I kind prefer Fahrenheit for temps, it gives you more differentiation 70 to 80 to 90 to 100 vs 19 to 24 to 29 to 34, and for winter below zero is kind of a threshhold you would lose in Celcius.
