Not that I've heard in a very long time. A handful of stations that 
serve the border areas will still do double temperature announcements 
("Minus 4 in Toronto, that's 24 Fahrenheit"), but for the most part, 
Canada's fully converted over to Celsius, and most of the Canadians I 
know have a hard time even thinking in Fahrenheit these days.

Minus 4 would indeed be about 24 F, which is about right where we were 
last night here in Rochester, too.
