Thoughts on flying in Canada and the updated flight restrictions for drones?

[jasonzhang412]

I was flipping through Facebook the other day and noticed that not long ago the Canadian MoT issued an updated version of the drone flight restrictions. It seems like it is more reasonable now, but flying in national parks is still not allowed. Would like to know some local flyers and what are your thoughts on the new flight restrictions? XD

There's been ADDITIONAL changes which are not reasonable. Mandatory Licencing and Insurance are some of the changes.

...Once again these are all proposed. in other words, NOT CURRENTLY IN EFFECT.

As of today's date, ( June 30, 2018), these are still proposed, and I hope they never become law. email Marc Garneau, and your local MP, to express your views on the these proposed regs. The points I disagree with on the proposed regulations for recreation flyers in the small drone category, is the weight of 250g to 1kg, (I think it should be 250g to 2kg), the $10000.00 liability insurance, and the knowledge test. I think the current regulations are good as it is, for recreational drone users under 2kg.
