   Ok, we've all heard the disclaimer. But under Canadian law, can I refuse?   
   Not give consent for Whom ever is on the other side to record the call?   
      
   I call Rogers or Bell etc because my Internet is slow, or my TV has bad   
   reception .   
      
   The telemarketer calls, with this disclaimer. I call XYZ Store to arrange   
   delivery of a home appliance or furniture .   
      
   I never gave it much thought before today. What got my attention was a call   
   at work today, from Caller ID blocked 1-800 number for someone we let go   
   over two years ago. It was a machine dialer, collection agency calling   
    is that John Doe, before we continued I must ask your   
   D.O.B, before we continue.   
      
   I said I do not consent to being recorded, and hung up.   
      
   What is the law in Canada, I know why a collection agent wants to record,   
   but it seems everyone is, that is seems to be built into most of these phone   
   systems.
