I end up on lists if I reply. “I’m more likely to shoot him than vote for him.”
To be fair, I’ve gotten texts from/for both Liberals and Conservatives.
Forward the message to 7726 (SPAM).
Works with all carriers and it’s free.
How do you forward, also does it not need to be a 10 digit number? I am not sms/mms savvy. I grew up with emails. I feel old.
Here’s a link to Rogers instructions. It’s the same for all carriers but I don’t personally know how to do it on android so this link has instructions for both iOS and android.

Here’s another link from the Government of Canada site to report SPAM other than SMS.
Here’s a link to the national do not call list (for whatever that’s worth)
Thank you.
I’m getting them in the States. I have a Tampa, Florida area code but live in Seattle. Whatever chaos-death-engine these parties use cares nothing for us.
We do not have them in Québec, mostly because CON is a lost cause here, and anyway they would write SMS in english, it’s an automatic red flag here to receive SMS in english.
Jesus Christ seriously? I live in Alberta and I don’t get them anymore. I tell them off incredibly rudely every time and they’ve stopped for the last few elections.
You’re just putting yourself on a contact list.
The best solution is to block and report spam.
I have been contacted by Conservatives exactly 3 times. Each time, I tell them to go fuck themselves. Haven’t heard from them in years.
Wait, do I send STOP to stop the texts, or to stop the liberals?
Yes
How do you know this is a con?
I assume because it’s coming from an American number?
I’m not 100% sure though
No, 604 is in BC
Ahhh, OK, thanks. I saw the +1 and assumed that was the American dialing code, like how UK is +44
+1 is also Canada.
TIL
Because it’s from the conservatives
Ah, I didn’t realize that “Con” meant “conservative”! I thought “Con” meant “scam”.
(it means both)
Por que no los dos?
“I am not a fascist, a bigot, or an authoritarian. I do not want Canada to become the 51st state. I do not want to destroy the last public broadcaster in Canada. As such, Conservatives are the last party I would ever vote for.”
My OG reason for hating conservatism is that it’s also very anti science. Remeber Harper and his bullshit?
Liberals are not always right and absolutely fuck up.
But Conservatives are YET to be right… On anything… Ever…
