Politicians and the "Do Not Call" Registry

[bunsen_h]

I just heard back from the CRTC, re: Bob Chiarelli and the Ontario Liberals' "Town Hall Discussion" calls.

Regardless of the exemptions provided to political candidates and political parties in regard to the "Do Not Call" registry, they must respect a direct call to them requesting that they not contact me. If they continue to call in spite of that request, they are in violation of the CRTC regulations.

Chiarelli's robocalls on April 2^nd and 3^rd were illegal.  I have just filed a complaint with the CRTC.

Yay, go you. Sadly there's probably a 30 day window for them to add you to their internal "Do Not Call" or some other stupid shield, but I wish you the best of luck 'cause I hate those calls too! :)

Since I've told them on multiple previous occasions not to call me, I don't think they can/should get any grace period now.

Good for you!

Bloody idiots, as far as I can see.
