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.

no there have been too many close calls of private drones in contact with public and private aviation. At least not until it can be properly regulated and made safe.
@9JWJDKK1yr1Y
yes as long as the drone does not trustpass on other property, and consent of filming for all who might be seen by the drone.
With the correct regulations, drones can be a profitable and prosperous industry. But regulations are key.
@9GMY2C21yr1Y
Certain smaller and less dangerous drones should be permitted, while larger more dangerous ones should not be
@9FD7JXT2yrs2Y
In highly controlled environments with the notice of residents and peoples residing in the area.
@9DWFG682yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be safeguards against the government being able to tap into them and use them as surveillance cameras
@923D97H3yrs3Y
Really depends on volume of drones
@8WK2JJQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but with strict regulations and license requirements.
@8VLSHD94yrs4Y
Yes but have to regulate
Drones should require licenses to ensure they are used responsibly. They are a potential safety threat and can easily be used for terrorism or surveillance.
@8TWLCD24yrs4Y
Yes, with regulations on cameras, & microphones. Mainly for situations where safety or accessibility is an issue.

As long as it is subtle and doesn't hurt anyone

@8PKCCH74yrs4Y
As long as they have licenses and promise to only use it for commerical purposes and nothing else cause that threatens the privacy of individuals.
@8VFBTZB4yrs4Y
Yes, but not in populated areas
@8NSV2FM4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they do not trespass on private property or violate privacy rights.
@3FB3CVJ4yrs4Y
With the current privacy act in Canada, I believe that there needs to be some regulations on drones. Like aircraft all units should have an Identification number visible and be registered with the CTSB providing details of usage. This will protect the citizens from privacy invasion as well as our country from spies, or other foreign intelligence.
