The privatization has been a dismal failure in Canada. Yes, they pay user fees. The problems is, the user fees are set by the ATC system, and has priced GA out of the market. The user fees are not necessarily the problem, but eventually, they will rise and become exorbitant. This has killed GA in Canada, and will do the same in the US.

Mr Gervais, the president of Canadian Owners and Operators Association (COPA) disagrees with your opinion. https://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/new...-229514-1.html

Last I checked Canada was in....Canada, and America was in....America, as in the United States of.
We didn't adopt the Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniforms, although they are super cool, and we didn't go for the Canadian medical system.
Although I do enjoy Canadian beer and the overall friendly nature of the citizens there, I do think both countries can operate independently without the need or formal requirement to copy each others style of ATC system.
However, I want to go on the record by saying we should close all McDonalds, and replace them with Tim Hortons.
