In the land of America, we have a "Do not call list." There are still companies that do not comply to solicitous calling regulations, and it's entirely annoying. But it's progress!

FINALLY. I had no idea this is coming, so I'm glad you posted about it. I get a ridiculous amount of spam phone calls, so I can't sign up for this fast enough.

As I understand it, each contravention of the DNCL or Telemarketing Rules can result in a fine of up to $1,500 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations per offence and all notices of violation will be made public.
