That's smart! I use en_IE for the same reason. I for some strange reason assumed that en_CA used non-metric measurements and crazy American dates. Thanks for enlightening me!

Depending on the measurement, many actual Canadians do use non-metric units: https://www.bclions.com/roster/

If you're old enough, maybe you remember a time when Canada wasn't using the metric system at all. It wasn't that long ago that they were going through metrication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada

Remember: Canada is the state that didn't "unite". :)
