The TC CARs state you can drop objects from an aircraft, but I cannot create harm to persons or property.
CARs 602.23
I've never dropped anything while flying, so I'd assume one would have to call up Transport Canada to clarify the legality of dropping BBs as "hazardous".
The sheer volume and cost of BBs you'd require for an effective "napalm" run would be enormous. The absolute cheapest bio BBs for volume are
$17.99 for 5000, and you'd need at least 20,000 to somewhat blanket a small area. With that each napalm run costs $80, and the costs of having air support would start ballooning out of control. Not to mention you'd have to find space in the airplane for 10's of thousands of BBs.
