Canadian do-not-call registry has loopholes

Starting September 30, 2008, Canadians began to sign up online at the Do Not Call List website or by calling the toll-free numbers 1-866-580-DNCL (1-866-580-3625) or 1-888-DNCL-TTY (1-888-362-5889). More than 70 per cent of Canadians polled say they intend to put themselves on the national list.

Consumers Association of Canada says Ottawa is allowing too many exemptions."All of the usual suspects will still be able to call" says the association. Charities (religious groups?), political parties, polling companies, newspapers selling subscriptions and organizations with which the consumer has an existing business relationship will still be able to call you.
