At REM, we’ve always valued open, honest conversation. Our readers have unique perspectives and experiences, and your insights are what make the discussions around our stories meaningful.
To continue fostering thoughtful dialogue, we’re updating our comment policy. Going forward, readers will need to log in through Facebook to post comments on our website.
This change means we’ll no longer allow anonymous commenting. Our goal is simple: to encourage accountability and reduce slanderous or abusive behaviour that can undermine productive discussion. When readers stand behind their words, the conversation becomes stronger, more respectful and more valuable for everyone.
Using Facebook’s authentication system helps confirm that commenters are real people and connects each comment to a profile. We believe this extra step will help maintain the professional environment our community expects from us.
We also understand that transparency matters, so here are answers to a few common questions:
- Do you get my password? No. Passwords are never shared with us.
- Do you post on my Facebook? No. REM does not request or receive permission to publish anything on your behalf.
- What information do you store? We collect only your name, email address and a link to your Facebook ID to verify your account.
We remain committed to providing space for open, intelligent debate on the issues that matter most to Canada’s real estate industry. Let’s keep the dialogue constructive and continue learning from one another.
