Transport Canada just released their new interim rules for drones. They are so restrictive that it is virtually impossible to fly anywhere in Canada. Check this out:
"Transport Canada’s announcement of interim regulations for drone use will impact model aviation enthusiasts across the country that are flying any model aircraft between 250g and 35kg. The regulations place restrictions on how high model aircraft can be flown, and minimum distances from people and buildings when flying that will severely limit how and where people can enjoy the hobby. The announcement states that not only must recreational users put their contact information on drones, but also that they may not fly higher than 90 metres, within 150 metres of buildings, vehicles or people, or within 9 kilometres of the centre of any aerodrome."
And you Americans think you have it bad. I put my P4 up for sale in the classified section. I am currently residing in Florida, but must return to the no fly zone (Canada) soon.
