So there I was, minding my own business, doing my dishes, when the phone rang. I was hoping it was Hubby, so I could tell him to bring me home some cough medicine, instead I got this girl who couldn't of been from around here because she couldn't pronounce the town I'm in.
Great. A telemarketer. But as I listen to her go on and on, I suddenly realize that this wans't any normal call. She was calling on 'behalf of children everywhere' and needed my donationg to stop Bill C-20. That if this bill goes through Parlament, it will lower the age of consent for sex from 14 to 12! And that because it's a Private Members Bill, it'll pass without problems!
Are you shocked? I was, but not for the reasons you think.
First of all, Bill c-20 has nothing to do at all with lowering the age of concent. A quick trip to the web told me this. While I do not agree with Bill C-20, this woman had her information wrong.
Second, there is no politition in this country that would openly support a motion to lower the age of concent. It's political suicide.
Third, I learned that any bill that starts with the letter C is a federal motion and can not be passed without support. Again this girl had her facts wrong. How do I know this? I called my MPP and talked to them about it. They're getting in touch with the Government department that regulates Telemarketers. I also gave them the phone number I got when I (star)69'd them.
This should be interesting.
