Hello,
I have heard a lot, and read a lot about the idea of Canada implementing a National Do Not Call List similar to the one in the US and other countries. When this is implemented "violators will face a hefty fine at $15,000 per infraction for companies and $1,500 for individuals."
Here are some sources:
Canadian Do Not Call List - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia gives information on the topic dating back as far as 2004.

Does anyone any thoughts about this?
How will this affect telemarketing within Canada?
How will it affect other countries telemarketing to Canada?
What can be done to save telemarketing, or to improve it?
