Query about phone spam
Anyone else had a lot of phone spam robocalls this week? I had three yesterday – one Canada Revenue Agency call, one call about a UPS package, and something claiming to be from Guinea‑Bissau, which I declined. Just now I had another robocall telling me my social insurance number was suspended.

What… no call from Windows Support? The CRA ones are fun, you talk in French, they hang up or say they aren’t authorized to talk in French.

I got the UPS one followed by mandarin.

Another social insurance number call just now. Both of those have been nominally from Kitchener, Ontario.
I had a real phone call from Elections Canada in the middle of all these, asking if I wanted to work on the October election. I was surprised to find a live human being at the end of the line instead of a robot voice! But I’m busy enough these days that I turned them down.
