List Only

Can a Canadian telemarketers be sued for not obeying the FTC the do not call list?

US companies which fail to follow the FTC's do not call list rules may be sued in small claims court in the US. Are Canadian companies required to follow the same rules? Does California Small Claims court allow law suits against international organizations?

1. No. Companies calling from Canada...be they American or Canadian do not have to adhere to the US do not call registry; that's why in the US u still have telemarketers calling from Canada India and other offshore locations. Thanks to Internet telephony they can afford to call you from overseas cheaply. Incidentally Canada has still to introduce a Canadian do not call registry...thanks to bureaucracy and government apathy this will probably never happen.
