Been to Canada a few times. Every border crossing that I've seen has a large, purposefully-difficult-to-miss sign mentioning that they post speeds and distances in km.

Doesn't mean you know what a kilometer is. China posts street and subway signs in both Chinese and English.

That would imply the US should be posting their speedlimits in both mph and kmh, since the rest of the world barely uses mph, just like how most of the world doesn’t speak Chinese…

Don't worry us Canadians know you can't figure out how to use a cell phone to do the conversion, so we put up helpful signs for you.

Seriously though if your excuse is you can't figure out what a kilometer is we don't want you here anyway.
