New Canada Drone Laws

I know there has been discussion the last few couple days about Canada (Transport Canada) coming down with some new drone laws. Here is a story AirVūz did explaining why it will be tougher if you plan to fly there, especially if you are a hobbyist.

Some of the new regs are stricter (ceiling and 9kms from airports) but otherwise provide more guidance as to what you can actually do recreationally. Contrarily to the US, the previous Canadian regime was based on the "you cannot do anything unless under a specific waiver program" which made recreational flying a lot more cumbersome.

At least now we can fly when there is more than one building around as long as it's 250 ft away!
