www.durtiamregion.com THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, SEPTEMBER 10, 2003 PAGE 5 MP wants to clean up e-mail junk mail BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM - A Durham MP wants to rid the information information highway of spam. Dan McTeague, member for Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge, says he plans to introduce anti-spam legislation legislation during this fall's parliamentary parliamentary session. "It would render unlawful any commercial entity, which sends out unsolicited material without the consent of the receiving party," lie explained explained in an interview. "Spam is curbing the exponential exponential growth of the Internet Internet by clogging up the Super Information Highway," Highway," Mr. McTeague said. The MP estimates he receives receives about 300 e-mails a week through his Web site, www.danmcteague.com. More than 200 of them are unsolicited, bulk e-mails or 'spam', as they arc commonly commonly referred to by computer users today. It can tie up his staff, he said, and keep him from responding responding to constituents in a "timely fashion". "There are filters out there but any enterprising mind can get around them," said Mr. McTeague. The borderless nature of the Internet means it will take a multi-lateral treaty among nations to make a ban on spam happen, he said. But. as a nation where Internet Internet use is quite high. Canada can set the example by passing passing such legislation. While the MP is certainly not the first to call for a spam ban, "he is taking a proactive step in the right direction and he should he noted for this." said Brian lively, an interactive interactive marketing consultant in Pickering. "Not only is it annoying but it's becoming problematic," problematic," he said. "For people soliciting soliciting for pornography, spam is 99 per cent of their vehicle." There arc ethical and unethical unethical ways to advertise via e-mails, pointed out Mr. Evely. Responsible companies companies will build their own databases, using only people with whom they've had firsthand firsthand contact. Other firms will simply purchase a mailing mailing list. Mr. McTcague's plan is feasible, said Mr. Every. "A good first step is to have the law stale if you engage engage in e-mail marketing you must include criteria on your e-mail message," he explained. explained. "There must be a link from which you can remove remove yourself from an e- mail listing without any type of recourse." Ask Your Physiotherapist Telma Grant Registered Physiotherapist Massage for neck and back pain. Q. Telma, my neck and shoulder arc always achy and sore. Will massage help? A. Massage is wonderful to relax muscles, break up spasms, and improve circulation, I recommend massage for all my patients who have been in car accidents. I find that their range of motion and muscle tightness is much improved with massage. They breathe deeper and are more relaxed. Massage and physiotherapy are a wonderful combination.
