CRTC Promises to Deal with Abuse of Do-Not-Call Registry


The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) plans to act quickly to deal with abuse of Canada’s do-not-call registry, according to Industry Minister, Tony Clement.

The do-not-call list was created to help consumers avoid calls from annoying telemarketers, but has actually worsened the problem for may participants, according to Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran.


After every sane person on the planet told you the do not call list would make matters worse , and after you proceeded with it anyways, because your "Industry" analysists thought it would be good for industry , and after you had Bell Canada , a big huge business thats about as pro-big business as it gets, seeing how it is a big business administer the thing , you've discovered that all those people (like me !) who warned you that this would be a disaster , were absolutely right !

And what are you doing ?




“Upon learning that the list could be acquired and used illegally,...


Upon learning that lowly bloggers like me who work in the tech industry knew what we were talking about and the twits whom you claim to be experts did nothing but screw half the general public who trusted you and hoped you would solve a problem , not make it worse...


I spoke to the chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, who has assured me it is taking these complaints very seriously,” Clement said in a statement. “It is the intent of the CRTC to aggressively pursue anyone abusing the use of the do-not-call list.”


We plan on doing nothing. We're gonna issue a feel good statement to the public that doesn't mean anything , those of you who now get 5 calls a day from spammers instead of one every two weeks are deeply screwed and nothing will happy , and we will play "wack a mole", a tactic we know to be totally useless since the US music industry tried it down south and found that out all ready. So thats the direction we're going in. We're gonna chase the spammers ...a tactic already well known to NOT WORK !!!

In other words, we did it on purpose. We're screwing the general public , and we have no intention of stopping.

Industry Canada. A government department looking after big business , caring for their needs, helping to screw the little guy.
