Is anyone else finding a dramatic rise in the amount of people knocking on your door selling useless crap you would never otherwise purchase over the last year or so in Calgary?

Having lived in the same NW suburban community for the last 8 years, I am curious to see if people elsewhere are having the same experience. Just a few years ago we would maybe have 1 inquiry at our door a week, and to be clear, I don't mind the odd inquiry for bottles or charity, however, it's a bit much to be answering the door 3-4 days out of the week, sometimes multiple times at that for security systems, cable/internet packages, lawn care service, window cleaning etc. It is increasingly frustrating when you have young children and their sleep patterns being disrupted by these people as well.

I am unaware of any bylaws that relate to these activities but I'm seriously starting to consider putting up the ominous no solicitors signage on the door if this doesn't start to subside.
