ATC User Fees

In a previous article, Larry Dighera said:
and landings each year, and Cleveland controllers alone handle
more operations annually than Canada's entire privatized system

Misleading if not outright lies.

According to NavCanada, they handle 11 million operations per year.
According to the FAA, Cleveland Center handles 3 million operations per
year.

Possibly they're counting Cleveland Center *plus* every take off and
landing handled by the controllers at the airports within the Cleveland
Center zone. But that's misleading too, because an aircraft that took off
from, say, Detroit and landed at, say, Pittsburg would could as three
operations then, but with NavCanada's integrated system, a similar flight
from Toronto to Montreal, or even Toronto to Vancouver, would only count
as one.
