Seems to have worked for Canada. Non-profit private sector organization, and they don't seem to have any more air disasters than anywhere else.

Right, but why. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Is there any evidence that our current system doesn't work?

That is usually pretty powerful "evidence".
Doesn't really compare. The US sets de-facto global aviation safety standards; Canada does not. Regulatory capture of Canada's ATC wouldn't move the needle, this absolutely will.
Interesting. The famous example is UK private railways that became bad very quickly. Again Canada is balanced.
