I am simply not comfortable giving away my information to the 'biggest telemarketer bastard company in Canada'.

You're all wrong - you have to turn the crank until you get an operator on the line.

So... we give our phone numbers to the biggest telemarketing company and this reduces the number of calls we get?

I may be from Canada, but I'm not that slow.

Obviously you are slow. the CMA is the organization that releases your address to marketers. It claims to be the biggest telemarketing SUPPLIER. It however will stop your requests for fax/phone/letters if you want... thereby NOT passing your info to other marketers. The marketers are OBLIGATED to remove your name etc for 3 years.

Yep. And if your getting the telemarketing calls already, they obviously already have your information. So what the hell could it hurt anyway.
