A community portal about Canada with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, occupying most of northern North America.

Do-Not-Call Registry

Canada’s long awaited do-not-call registry came into effect yesterday. Unfortunately, there are exceptions. Registered charities, political parties and newspapers are some of those that are exempted from the registry. Unsatisfied with the loopholes, an internet law expert has created another avenue for those that want to stop all unsolicited calls. Michael Geist, the Canada research chair of Internet and e-commerce law at the University of Ottawa, has created a website which allows users to pick and choose the type of calls they will allow. You can get more information at iOptOut.ca.

The more limited federal government site is www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca or you can call 1-866-580-3625. db
