First I apologize to all non-Canadians for this very local tangent to the thread.
Then you use 901.43, (which does not apply to a Mavic Mini), to support your contention. I think any reasonable person would consider this spurious when combined with your signature. Or are you now claiming to represent Transport Canada? Inquiring minds want to know.
Is it fact or is it opinion?
You use your signature to suggest you know better about the interpretation of CAR's especially Part 9. Yet you offer no facts based on the TC's published interpretation or court judgments to support these contentions. Instead you offer assertions unsupported by fact. The Mavic Mini, (this forum's topic), has a Manufacturer's declared weight of 249g. Payload is defined for for the purposes of CAR's; you do not get to select what and where it should apply.I believe you are misinterpreting 900.01 in this instance; the decal, strobes, landing gear etc that some choose to use put the TOW (which is defined in CARs 101.01) over the 250g.
The 900.01 definition to which you refer, only relates to Part IX ("The following definitions apply in this Part.") and specifically to 901.43 which describes four types of payload that a 250g-25kg RPA pilot may not carry in the absence of an SFOC.
