My phone rings constantly in the evening....who is it...it's Ontario


No, it's not a friend or long lost family member(a stupid one who left the west) it's a telephone marketer. (as indicated by my caller ID)

do they not have any real jobs in Ontario?

[Canadian_Princess]

Um, your logic confuses me. Just because you're hounded by telemarketing calls from Ontario doesn't mean that the only jobs available in Ontario are telemarketing jobs. We have millions of jobs in Ontario...telemarketing happens to be only one of them, and because we have so many people, there's bound to be many telemarketing call centres, with plenty of telemarketing employees to call you and harrass you.

I don't see why you'd call your relatives who moved to Ontario stupid...they should be praised for being smart enough to escape the west as soon as they could.

Anybody who would move backwards is stupid, your logic is confusing.....you're right the other telemarketers are from the US where their economy is also in the sink hole

That's why I only use my home phone as a fax.

*sigh* Where's all this jealousy and resentment coming from? Is this because our province essentially runs Canada? Its ok, we still remember you guys exist from time to time. You're not bringing much to the table, but you're still part of the team, champ!

We are the team you are the bench warmers.


It's good to see you don't take your posts serious.

[BarbaraWoodson]

Yes,I often wonder about telemarketers myself.

What's even worse is when they call your house,and ask if your
mom or dad are home.lol

[newfette]

easy now...

I used to be a telemarkerter

[daVinci]

They are annoying, yes. But a person got to do what he's got to do to make a living, even if it means taking a job as a telemarketer. Doesn't mean anyone's got to be rude about it.

ZING!!!! That was awesome.

[camerontech]

don't worry, there's still people with real jobs in northwestern ontario

[karrie]

I can just imagine all the people sitting in welfare lines around the country, too proud or too 'qualified' to take a job as a telemarketer... who's worse?

Fine,except it's my time thats getting wasted for a NON solicited call and my time is worth money also.Some of them are bloody recordings.

[Chumley]

I get those things too, except they rotate what comes up on the display, showing Canadian provinces and U.S. states.
They drive me nuts.

The other day I pick up the phone and heard the"Toot!Toot!" of a cruise ship and then the spiel of the free trip started.
