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.

drones are cool, but should only be used for vlogging or music video purposes. Nobody wants to walk outside and see drones flying everywhere, just for commercials.

This technology would have to be worked into the existing flight management systems currently employed, strict safety and failsafe requirements would also have to be reviewed and implemented first. National and civilian security must always remain a priority when considering these kinds of technological advancements.
