Canadian Do-Not-Call List
Ring..."Hello?"
"Would you like to participate in our survey?"
"Are you interested in a time-share opportunity?"
"Hi, this is Boris the mover. Need help with the moving? We lift all heavy thing for you..."
Sound familiar, usually right when you're sitting down for dinner?
I could swear I signed up for something like this a few years ago (completely ineffective), but here we go again. Starting September 30, 2008, Canadian residents will be able to register their phone numbers with the National Do Not Call List (DNCL).
Any US readers care to comment on the effectiveness of the National Do Not Call Registry?
Here's the link that will be slammed on September 30th: http://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng.html

This is a completely useless piece of legislation, largely because those charged with crafting it have spent the last three years being lobbied by various interest groups and now the list of exemptions is long than the list of prohibited calls. Our political leaders would do well to remember that they are elected to serve the tax payer, not themselves and their institutional donors. Just my 2 cents.
