I was with NATS (never a controller, eyesight too bad, their loss

). I got fed up with the government and management (UK and NATS respectively) and left to come to Canada.
NavCanada weren't hiring the likes of me, so I am now employed by a consultancy in a place called Guelph, about 60 miles west of Toronto (and I suspect underneath one of those long, straight in approaches you get over here).
