Canada’s Do-Not-Call List (DNCL) is up - and then down

Canada’s Do-Not-Call List (DNCL) website was launched today, then promptly ground to a halt due to the massive amount of traffic accessing the site.

While I was able to go on earlier today to add my numbers, anyone trying to access it now is greeted with a “temporarily unavailable” message:

Do-Not-Call List (DNCL)

This should be resolved as traffic slows; but, it goes to show you just how many people are sick and tried of being called by telemarketers.

Don’t forget to go back and add your number when it’s back up.

Update - The CBC just posted an article about the website and phone system going down.

Thanks for posting this one Shawn. I forgot all about the DNCL and cant wait till it’s back up and running. There is absolutely no need to be bombarded by telemarketers on our personal home/cell phones!

Thanks for posting this Shawn! The site is still down but I’ll keep trying.
