Actually, there is a Canadian do-not-call list which is entirely<br>voluntary (companies can decide whether or not they follow it) at<br><a href="https://cornerstonewebmedia.com/cma/submit.asp">https://cornerstonewebmedia.com/cma/submit.asp
</a>. This is not a<br>legislated list, it is done by the Canadian Marketing Association (or<br>somesuch),. There are regulations on telemarketing and soliciting and a<br>person can request to be removed from a telemarketer's list, after which
<br>they are supposed to remain off the list for 3 years. In my experience<br>this tends to work with most companies. The current telemarketing rules<br>are at <a href="http://www.crtc.gc.ca/Eng/INFO_SHT/t1022.htm">http://www.crtc.gc.ca/Eng/INFO_SHT/t1022.htm
</a>, discussions about a<br>national do-not-call list are still ongoing and as was mentioned<br>previously there are a lot of exceptions to it.</blockquote><div><br>Daniel,<br><br>Thanks for this -- I have filled it out with my wife's cell phone number and I will bookmark it for sure.
