Default Opt out of the Yellow Pages

Hey guys,
I saw a tweet by everyone's favourite Mayor, and didn't know I could do this. So, I thought I'd share it here, as I'm sure there are a TON of people, like me, who hate the waste of getting a paper version of the yellow pages every year.

You can opt out at the link below.

I was all for this until I saw that giving them my phone number and email address is mandatory. F that. The only information they should need to stop sending me their worthless paperweight is my mailing address.

Yeah, I thought of that too, and it does seem kind of sketcy, especially considering it's exactly the kind of company that would pay a lot of money for that kind of information. But they already have my phone number and address, so I figured what difference does it make if I also give them the email address I only use for useless stuff like this.

yeah that does seem to be unnecessary, maybe trying to get info on us and sell to make up for the loss in advertising

To be honest if the things ever come out about what I have heard that Bronco did while in office he will be enemy # 1 by the people of Calgary

He already is WITHOUT those things. What a terrible mayor. Can't believe he was elected and re-lected twice by us.

I never voted for that clown, ever. Thankfully I was away for most of his tenure.

On a related note, if you're not a fan of the way the Peace Bridge was single-sourced out behind closed doors, wait until news comes out on two of the four proposed rec centres.

Is that why the new west line instead of taking a left off 17th to goto signal hill is going straight up 17th to no where?
