It took the government FOUR years to announce then implement this. Amazing how long it takes from announcement to action when it comes to our federal government. The National Do Not Call website is launching today, add your number there and telemarketers will stop calling you.
Did you click on the link? Having problems? Yes, that means the website is not working. As reported on Canada.com, the site is experiencing difficulty because of traffic. I find this amazing since this service is outsourced to none other than Bell Canada.
Do not expect to be completely free of calls, check out the large amount of exceptions that the federal government approved during the past four years:
- charities
- political parties
- polling companies
- businesses with products or services they’ve inquired about in the past six months
- businesses that they’ve had relationships with in the past 18 months.
