This is wrong.
You can’t use complementary colours. They need to be blendable so you can show Canada as a blend. (Maybe other places too, but I haven’t been to any of them so I don’t know.) My thermostat reads in Fahrenheit by default. My oven doesn’t even have a Celsius option. (If you watch Canadian cooking shows and read Canadian cookbooks and food package instructions, you’ll see that Celsius being an afterthought or ignored entirely is the norm when discussing cooking. Occasionally you see Celsius get front-and-centre and Fahrenheit get the parenthetical, but not usually.)
You can get away with not knowing French, but you need to be Celsius/Fahrenheit bilingual.

#our home and cherished land #interestingly this doesn’t appear to be true with metric/American in general #I’ve noticed that the Daily Planet people don’t expect their audience to understand figures given in miles #when they show Americans using miles they give the kilometre translation in voiceover or on the screen #I’m pretty sure they only do that with Fahrenheit when it falls outside the range used in weather and cookery
