Canada has a Do Not Call List -- https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/
Very easy to register.
I've had one busy telemarketer. Sometimes the same one call on the same day.And many are machines instead of people so telling them to take me off their list is out of the question.
You can bet I'm on the list.
I've registered too. This list is long overdue!

Sounds excellent!
I've been tempted to get an autodialer (or build one) and repeatedly call back those companies who have machines calling me.
From what I've heard, the DNC list isn't all that well enforced.
We have a company who keeps calling us to sell us children's books. We have purchased from them in the past and have cancelled. They still call us with offers. Next time they call, I'll be telling them my kid is dead.
Speaking of pissing off unwanted callers:

...I can't believe that's almost a year old already!
Thanks for this, Lady Lee!

Lady Lee..You Rock!..As usual!..I am so tired of people I don`t want to talk to,calling..................

I signed up the first day. It took three of four tries online to register because the server was overloaded and crashing but well worth the effort.
Telemarketers have become an increasing pain in the ASS the last few years especially with a lot of calls targeted to the dinner hour.
I did screw up a few days ago. I received a phone call from someone I could hardly understand who mispronounced my name. I hung up right away.
They called back a few hours later. It was my irrigation company wanting to come out and blow my lines for the winter...OOOPS...
I did suggest that the first thing they do on the phone is to identify the company name (Sears) their name THEN ask your name or tell you what they want.
Maybe I won't be so quick on the hangups when the list is functioning...
