If I have gone into too much detail and confused everyone with my gibber, which I am often wont to do:
$50,000CAD (dawgweed's approximate salary AFTER tax) = $57,500AUD (the BEFORE TAX salary of a 'top increment' line controller with maximum benefits that they pay the 'alternative' providers of ATC in Oztraylia-Airservices australia employees get paid somewhat more). Before you comment on overtime and penalties bumping the money up, the 'alternatives' don't qualify.
O'Canada, O'Canada......
