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.

yes, but have regulations that ensure privacy
@4G23J2Y4yrs4Y
This is a blantant invasion of privacy and Orwellian in nature.
@4JSFZKD4yrs4Y
Commercial/amateur photography.
@8FVS8CR5yrs5Y
Drones should require licenses to ensure they are used responsibly. They are a potential safety threat and can easily be used for exposing people.
@B49FVYK3wks3W
i think it would b super cool but js not effective, drones can loose signal or die or have other technical difficulties
@B2BMK7B3mos3MO
Yes, but only if the public is informed of when & where they will be used, & asking citizens if they'd like to be blurred out of the footage/photos.
@9TC77NN7mos7MO
Yes, but only for drones operated within specific areas where there is an increased safety/security risk.
@9RL3TFFNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes if it were used for commercial film and photography and services like search and rescue. There is enough advertising plugging up everything around us. We don’t need drones following us around trying to sell something
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 10mos10MO
Yes, the idea and commercialisation of drones have several positive outcomes. However, such drones should have to follow the same flight/transport safety regulations and rules that other devices use for transport and commercialisation.
@9NJP74H11mos11MO
No, there are too many ways that companies can abuse this usage. Including illegal surveillance use from insurance company.
@9JTV6YY1yr1Y
The requests for permits should be reveiwed on a case by case basis and should also expire within 6 months.

Depends on what the drones are used for .
@9DZPXF52yrs2Y
Like for ads maybe but not watching other people
@9CBTBW32yrs2Y
No, the risk to reward ratio is not currently beneficial at this time
@9C63S732yrs2Y
Needs more study and regulation. Very against and uncertain due to the rise of AI. We'll be risking our security and privacy.

Too many factors for a yes or no answer

[Asgardian PA]: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman! We are under assault, I repeat, we are under assault – The engines are dead, life support failing! Requesting aid from any vessel within range…We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families, we have very few soldiers here!

@95KS27M3yrs3Y
Government should have no say in whether a person uses a drone for commercial purposes or notice
