DMcG> It is a missed opportunity - DMcG> they should have adopted Metric Time Is anybody old enough to remember the April Fools joke that the CBC pulled, when they announced that then Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, was imposing Metric Time on the nation? It was the same year that we changed most of our systems to metric. Emotions were already fully charged, magnified by the love/hate extremes we all felt towards Trudeau. Half the nation went ballistic! For an April Fools prank it was, as they say, 'a good one'!
