Charities Not Liking the Quebec

I work in the province of Quebec yet live in Ontario.  I phoned to order a Cancer Society lottery ticket today and the person on the other end of the line said she was unable to process my order because I did not have a phone number which resided in Ontario.  I did explain that I did live in Ontario and wondered if I could still order the ticket but alas, this was not the case.

Now, call me crazy, but as a charity, wouldn’t you want to accept anyone’s credit card as sufficient information to process a ticket purchase?

Strange.  Hey, I just noticed it was for the Canadian Cancer Society, not the Ontario Cancer Society!  What gives?
