Uh, ok... They don't have the measured labels like they do here? :-)

I buy butter by the lb. which contains 4 sticks.

That translates to 4 oz. per stick. 1 cup is 8 oz. which means that 1
stick is 1/4 lb. which is 1/2 cup.

I'm a little vague on the tablespoon translation, but I think 1 stick is
8 tablespoons???? Please correct that if it is wrong!

I know it to be 1/4 of the lb.; i.e., 4 oz or ~ 115g

I can buy a one-pound brick of butter that bears no measurements. It's
a few cents cheaper than the quartered pound.

A stick of buttah is 1/4 pound or 1/2 cup. If yours comes in 1 pound blocks
(sorry I still don't do metric) just cut it in half the short way and in
half again the long way eh voila - you have 4, 1/4 pounds or 4, 1/2 cups of
the lovely stuff.

Doesn't Canada use the metric system?

1 stick is .25 lb.

Officially, yes, but in supermarkets you can sometimes find prices for fresh
foods in both pound and kilos. Our butter comes in 454 gram blocks--most
blocks will have both 454g and 1lb written on them. AFAIK, only premium
butters (such as Lactancia cultured butter) in my area will come in sticks,
most are sold in blocks with lines (1/4cup, 1/2 cup, 1 cup) on the side.
Most canned or prepackaged goods in Canada will come in sizes which are
metric equivalents to common US sizes. For example, a can of root beer is
355mL, which is about 12 oz. IIRC, canned drinks in the US come in 12 oz
cans. Our bottled drinks usually come in 500mL, 1L or 2 L sizes, though.
