Canadian here. Inches are still used in printing, although we are technically a metric nation. Paper was one of the things that avoided going to metric sizes, primarily because so much of our paper goes to the non-metric US. If paper is in inches, it follows that printing will be in inches. As I said before, I design (for print) in picas and points, and for the web in pixels.
