It pisses me off royally that American telemarketing/finance firms are allowed to operate in Canada, especially with the economy melting all around us because of predictably damaging, unscrupulous business practices. Defrauding unwitting Canadians with deliberately misleading sales pitches like this is not what the Free Trade agreement was supposed to be about.
