Public Deposited- Resource Type

- Abstract
Drones are part of a digital network of data collection technologies that enable new flows of information. There is reason to believe that military, police, and corporations, with their sizeable budgets, are amongst the main purchasers of drones in Canada. In the context of a post 9/11 heightened security environment, these organizations rely on drones primarily for their sensory and data collection equipment, effectively rendering them surveillance technologies. The growing drone economy’s corporate, government, and military partnerships are leading the regulatory development which ultimately fails to address civil liberties and privacy in Canada.
