The Area code 647 is the Overlay Area Code for the Toronto Region, in North America. So, calls that begin with 647 are originating at a switch that has support for that area code. This means an OUTBOUND agency can rent a block of phone numbers, and use it for a Specific Campaign or a pool of Outbound IDs.
Currently, as of 2014-01-17 , In Ontario, there are TWO By-Elections on the go, and this particular number is being used from a Donation Campaign Office of the Ontario PC Party. It is a 3rd party office ,that is soliciting for contributions to help defray the advertising costs associated with the current campaign, and if there is a surplus, to go towards General Expenses of the PC Party of Ontario. (doubtful there would be a surplus, but you never know). IF you do not wish to be contacted by this office, Call the PC Party of Ontario, and ask to be placed on their Do-Not-Call-Me-Ever-Again-This-Is-So-Annoying list.
From their current website: "We can be reached by phone at (416) 861-0020,
or toll-free at 1-800-903-6453. Fax us at (416) 861-9593."

I contacted Rick Dykstra the president of the Ont. PC party who informed me that the calls are not from the Ont. PC party but from someone masking as the PC party. Mr. Dykstra informed me to call the police & report this number. Other related numbers are 647-725-3912 and 647-725-3894
