No, you are right. You shouldn't compare Yugoslavian ATC (Croation/Serbian/Albanian etc etc I guess it should be now) with Canadian ATC. They use radar and separate aircraft by 5 miles whereas Canadian ATC is still entrenched in procedural service (until ADS is up and about I concede) and pass verbal estimates. I accept this is down to the nature of the country but the ATC here compares with India, Russia and Africa in some places. In addition, the CAATS system is obsolete already in comparison with other ATC systems already in use around the world. Let's not go blowing our own trumpet because we provide a service in a second language at one of 7 ACCs.
