"Oh, the speed limit is 100 kph-- that's actually about 60 mph."
"The price of gas is 1.35 Canadian dollars per liter. That's about $5.70 Canadian per gallon, which is about 4 US dollars per gallon."
"This next town has a population of 22,000 Canadians. That would be about ... about 22,000 Americans."
