    Anyone who replied has validated your number as a verified working phone number to sell and to spam.

    Fun fact, parties running for election both get access to voter phone lists and are exempt from the do not call list.

    They do however have to confirm to telemarketer / scam legislation. So you can reply with please remove me from your list and if they contact you again you can get is escalated.

    Just say yes to fuck up their metrics.

    “Yes but don’t contact me on this number again, it’s my work phone”

    The best response in these cases is no response.

    The second best response (if you can’t resist the urge) is to say no, but not to say why. Don’t help them tune their messaging to get a couple percent more votes – in the Canadian electoral systems, even just a couple thousand voters makes the difference between winning and losing.

    Would anyone be able to provide some sources regarding John Rustad’s and/or the BC Conservative Party’s current positions on trans issues?

        I’m unlisted and they texted me too.

        If they weren’t so out of touch they would know better. Or it was a spambot using the election as a ruse.
        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Nope, but seen those cunts walking on our street …was hoping they’d stop me but alas no such joy 😑.
    Guess I’m not they’re target demographic.
