Have you been bothered by those pesky telemarketers recently? I know I have. In fact, I remember several times when my dinner was interrupted by some college student asking me if I would like to lower all my credit card bills.

Well – as of September 30th, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) will allow phone owners to put their number on a ‘Do not call’ list. Telemarketers will still have a grace-period of 31 days to “adjust” but any unsolicited calls thereafter will result in a fine up to $1,500 for individuals and $15,000 for businesses.

To put your number(s) on the list, visit www.LNNTE-DNCL.gc.ca after September 30th, or call 1-866-580-DNCL (3625).

Man, this is going to piss off a lot of telemarketers!
