FINALLY!!!

Something good from the Government in Canada...

Effective Sept 30th, 2008, you will be able to place your phone number on a Block list for telemarketers.
Fact Sheet here: http://www.crtc.gc.c...cl_info.htm#tel
CRTC Decision information here: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/eng/decision...7/dt2007-48.htm

Now you can relax and enjoy your supper without those bothersome interruptions.

No telling how effective this will be, or exactly the results, but I'm looking forward to not having those calls.

We've got one of those here in Australia. It doesn't stop the calls though. we still get telemarketers. I think the block list just takes you off of the free list that companies can buy. Not stops you from getting calls. Then again I don't think our government did the block list. That could be why.

At last.It's about time that they had something like this.
I'm surprised I heard of this so late. If they could only
find a way now to stop email spam.
