Dispatch from the Front Lines: How are we not a drone superpower by now?

Win-win opportunities abound, but does Canada have the will to take the W on offer?

Attack of the drones…

Hey all! Hope you’re having a great weekend. Just a very brief programming note — this week is March Break for our children, so we’ll be partially off. You’ll still get your usual assortment of written articles, and Matt has recorded an On The Line podcast episode for Tuesday, but we won’t do a Line Podcast this week, and a dispatch next weekend is, shall we say, TBD. For those who are also off this week, we hope it’s a great one. Keep those kids entertained!

We did do an episode of The Line Podcast last week, though, so check it out and enjoy it.

Also be sure to check out last week’s On The Line, where Jen spoke with Michael Geist about some of Canada’s dumber digital policy proposals. Of which there are many, sadly.

And now, on with the dispatch.
