- Thread starter Kreskin
- Start date
The list clearly states the exemptions for the list, and political parties was always one of them.... they have never been expected to not call.

Yeah, just what is it with those crazy federal party leaders polluting the west trying to do nationwide politicing?
Today there is more news regarding the Do Not Call List:
OTTAWA - Figures released by the federal government suggest it is failing to enforce the national do-not-call list, despite the fact more than 300,000 complaints have been filed against unwanted telemarketers.
Responding to a query by Liberal Senator Percy Downe, the government reports it has imposed $73,000 in fines but has only collected $250 as of March 1.
Launched in September 2008, the National Do Not Call List is a free service that is supposed to restrict the number of unwanted telemarketing calls and faxes people receive.
Telemarketers are barred from dialling a number once it is on the list, and are supposed face stiff fines if they do — up to $1,500 for individual telemarketers and $15,000 for companies if a registered household files a complaint.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which administers the program, projected in 2008 that 60 per cent of the 27 million residential telephone numbers in Canada would be registered on the list within two years.
Numbers can be registered atwww.dncl.gc.caor by telephone at 1-866-580-3625.
"It is clear that the do-not-call list is a great idea but under this government it has been totally useless for many Canadians," said Downe.
"It is time to start enforcing the rules, collect the fines and put a stop once and for all to these unwanted telephone calls."

Peachy. I wonder how many other rules the feds don't bother enforcing. Like the firearms laws we had before the Glibs screwed with it. Child sex tourism laws
Child-sex tourism law not enforced ,
Laws Which Could Help Reduce Sexual Child Abuse Are Not Being Enforced
Move Aways: Parental Abduction Laws not Enforced with Moms
But anyway, This isn't necessarily the Cons fault as these laws have been ignored for longer than they've been in gov't.
