Canada did have 443 reported laser incidents in 2013. While laser strikes in Canada are not nearly as frequent as they are in the United States, they are on the rise.
The fact that this many people think "let's point lasers at planes!" is pretty scary.
So which scenario was it?
Kid with the laser says "Watch this !!"
or
Two pals are like, "Dude you should totally point that at the helicopter."

one of the folks in the comments shows on a per capita basis, Canada is as stupid with laser pointers as USA.
I have a green one I use at night sometimes to show folks stuff in the sky, and yeah, I check for any planes before use.
Yay, we're as smart as Canada!
