An article in The Record today said that "Canadians will finally be able to stop most telemarketers' calls". Yahoo!!
As of September 30, we can register to have our phone numbers removed from telemarketers' lists. It will take up to 31 days for the calls to stop, and even then "unsolicited calls will continue to be permitted from charities, political parties, pollsters, newspapers seeking subscriptions and companies with which customer have existing business relationships". An article in the Edmonton Sun indicates that we'll have to re-add our phone numbers to the list every three years. Better than nothing I suppose...
So, mark September 30 on your calendar and visit http://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/.
