The "National Do Not Call List" can be useful in Canada.

Paypal may only contact you if you've requested info in the past 6 months or used their service in the past 18 months.

If they call, you can demand that you be put onto their internal Do Not Call list. They must honour that and you can make a complaint if they do not.

Couldn't having an account be construed as having used their service, though?

do politicians and some charities get a free pass when it comes to ignoring it like they do in the US?

They do.

The do not call list has an exception for robo-campaign call. Isn't it interesting that our lawmakers would put in such an exception?
