Eating Supper In Peace
10 10 2007An open letter to the Ontario NDP:
At 8:48 pm on October 9, 2007, I received a call from an answering machine representing the NDP asking me to vote for Howard Hampton because the Liberals “broke their promises”.
On July 22, 2003, Howard Hampton put forward a proposal cleverly nicknamed the “Eating Supper In Peace” act, which would create a Do Not Call list and allow people like myself to avoid annoying and unwanted impersonal phone calls.I will not vote NDP tomorrow.
I assume that the NDP maintains a Do Not Call list? How do I get myself on that list?

Zing!
At least your riding’s NDP candidate was making some effort at campaigning. We didn’t even receive so much as a pamphlet from our candidate… if one even existed.
Those calls are awful. They’re just trying to get a gauge of how the results will turn out. And how do they reward you for actually taking the time to talk to them? By putting you on their call list for future elections!
I wish they were talking to me! What I received was a phone call from a machine! I wasn’t even given the opportunity to ask to be put on a Do Not Call list.
I still haven’t received any response to my email from the Ontario NDP nor the candidate in my riding.
Whoa..i’ve been going to mediaman.com/blog this whole time. You update this!?!
[...] I also want to note that this is the second time I’ve had to send the NDP such a message. [...]
