As for user fees, they seem pretty much inevitable, and it's been my
position that GA might be better off to play ball on the concept and
make our fight on the magnitude. IIRC a Canadian 172 owner would pay
something like $120 annually, which seems to me like, well, chump
change considering the costs of aviation overall.

As of two years ago the owner I know of a Cherokee 235 in Canada paid
about $35 US for his yearly ATC fee. They charged by weight.
