Don't know, but if you consider the calls harassing you could try
threatening with this:
====
C'th Criminal Code
474.17 Using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if:
(a) the person uses a carriage service; and
(b) the person does so in a way (whether by the
method of use or the content of a communication, or both) that reasonable
persons would regard as being, in all the circumstances, menacing,
harassing or offensive.
Penalty: Imprisonment for 3 years.
