Sales of butter in Canada?

Since almost all Canadian dairy products cannot be exported to and sold in the USA, and, in Canada, all liquid dairy is packaged in standardized metric containers (litre, 250ml, 2 litre, etc) and all cheeses weighed by grams, why is butter in Canada sold in 454gram (1 US pound) blocks instead of 500 gram and 250 gram blocks?

I have no idea. I really don't. Maybe it's for recipes? I'm unfamiliar with Canadian dairy practices... sorry!

We used to use the imperial system up here. I guess when we converted to metric we just converted pounds & ounces to grams & litres rather than coming up with new size portions.
