The incredible shrinking Canadian pint

Fellow Canadians and beer drinkers! Has the pint been shrinking in your neighbourhood?
I've noticed a disturbing trend in Ottawa over the past couple years. At first it was only a problem in fancy chi-chi and hipster places that insist on serving each different of beer in a special branded glass, but the contamination is spreading: proper Canadian 20oz Imperial Pints are being replaced with lousy little American 16oz false pints. This is actually illegal in Canada, and you can file a complaint with Measurement Canada. A pint of beer must be 20oz or 568ml. My question is, do you see a similar problem in your part of Canada?
