This fall is the 5 year anniversary of Canada's "Do not call" list going live.
What most people don't know is that you have to re-register your number every 5 years - or you get removed from this list!
Check your registration status here:

Takes not 2 minutes to renew, and can save you some annoying telemarketing calls.
You can also rat out people who call you at the same site. Menu bar on the left!
For U.S. Readers, You also have a Do Not Call list as well, Located here:
https://www.donotcall.gov/
There's a special place in hell for companies that telemarket aggressively and irresponsibly. Putting yourself on the do not call list allows you to register complaints when you do get called, and the government can (and has) sued corporations that break the rules.
Too bad political robocalls don't count as a violation. A lot of people have been harassed, as proved by the complaints posted at Callercenter.com and it's sad that these callers don't get penalized at all.
