In the first 4 months of 2015 Transport Canada issued 1,600 permits for commercial drones. In contrast, the U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration issued only 69. Over 110 companies in Canada now provide commercial drone services, which are regularly used by the movie and television industry, oil and gas companies, forestry companies and farmers.

It has its pros and cons

It depends. If drones are used for things like delivering prescriptions to remote communities, then yes. If they are used for scouting forestry opportunities, perhaps not.
