It depends. If he's talking about outside weather he is using metric. Once he starts cooking food though, it suddenly becomes imperial.

Using BBQ in 20 degree weather and cook your chicken at 350 degrees

Wait, what? I don't get it... Why would one switch just for cooking

?! Just sounds weird to cook chicken at 175degrees.

Canada typically uses Celsius for outdoors temp, and Fahrenheit for cooking. Most appliances are in Fahrenheit because it's American made.

Also a lot of cookbooks here use Fahrenheit as well..it's just engrained to flip flop between the too depending on the scenario.
