Does anyone know the regulations concerning telemarketing in Canada? I received an automated call this morning (at 9AM Saturday) from a home cleaning service waking me up after working until 3AM.

I have checked the CMA website, Better Business Bureau, and Quebec government websites and here is what I understand.They are not supposed to call you before 9AM on weekdays, 10AM on weekends. However I think the rules apply to CMA members and they are voluntary - guidelines but not actual laws.

I'd like to know if the automated dialing services are legal, and if anyone knows of more information on direct marketing and telemarketing rules in Canada.

I put myself on the Do-Not-Call list last year and it did not help, even though it is supposed to reduce calls for 3 years. I just did it again today - suspect that is not really a helpful tool and we need actual legislation to enforce it.

Gone are the days when people were respected simply because they happened to be older than you are. Unless the boss commands respect and has got admirable qualities it becomes tough to respect him. I guess we need to as usual keep a low profile..

I am a consumer and I spoke up sharply and negatively about a company that is indeed ripping off others. My "review" circulated across the net... and in fact many agreed with me.

Three weeks ago I started receiving emails from their lawyer threatening legal action. Everytime they come across my article or statements on a blog or in a discussion (not on my sites), I get another "formal notice" email ("govern yourself accordingly").

It's to the point where I'm starting to think going to court might be the best option... sueing them for harassment. While I may have posted a negative review, I am a consumer and entitled to freedome of speech. I don't know why I'm in such a hot seat and I'm getting sick of it.

What's the worst I could face if sued? Possibly bankruptcy?

Does anyone know what my options are? How far could this go?

By the way, the company in question is operating a money scam... if taken to court, I think that company would be out of "business". Suggestions?

I need to send in a stock certificate. They told me to use a courier service. What exactly does that mean? Is that something the post office offers, or does it mean use someone other than the post office, like UPS?

My significant other just lost her mother. We were going through some old lock boxes and found two documents that were both worth a hundred shares a piece in an old radio company. She believes it has since closed its doors but these are legit documents stamped by 2 major banks. They are the originals, how do I go about figuring this out and and does anyone have any advice. Thanks in advance for your help.....
