Our bi-monthly publication, REALity, provides an opportunity to share with our members the latest political and social developments in Canada and abroad. REALity provides information that isn’t usually reported in the mainstream media. As a result, we regard REALity as a very important part of our work.
It has been suggested to us, however, as a way to reduce our costs in regard to REALity, that it could be sent by email to those of our members who would like to receive it in this format. This would also make it easier to share the news magazine with your friends and family.
Not all of us, however, prefer the new technologies and do not use email. For such members, we would continue to send REALity by regular mail -- but perhaps in a less expensive version. In all cases, the content will be much the same.
Our members are very important to us – each one of you matters to us. As a result, we don’t want to make any significant changes in regard to REALity without having first consulted with you.
If you would be willing to receive REALity by e-mail, could you please let us know? If so, please send us your e-mail address. Of course, it will be very important that you notify us of any future changes in your email address.
If you don’t want or are unable to receive REALity electronically, could you also let us know if a less costly mailed version would be satisfactory for you? The less costly version would have fewer graphics and be without colour.
Also, it would be helpful for us to have your views on the content of REALity. Are the articles too long, detailed and technical? What topics would you like us to cover? Would you prefer a more executive summary version, without all the background details and references to studies on which we base our analysis? Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated. Don’t worry about hurting our feelings: after our long years on the forefront of controversial issues, we can certainly take constructive criticism from our devoted members!

If any changes take place, they will not occur for a while, in order that we will have time to consider your comments carefully. Many thanks for any of your contributions to these possible changes to REALity.
