Oh, I agree. They're obviously just passing along the blame. Message CREA and they'll likely refer you to RECO.

They're non-arms length, but they still act independent of each other. You'd likely receive the same response if you sent that message to Zolo. As a rough example, imagine if ICANN had a marketplace and it was fed listings by CIRA. Yes, ICANN oversees CIRA, but it doesn’t oversee CIRA’s domain...

Realtor.ca doesn’t manage the listing data themselves. They use an IDX feed provided by local boards like TREB and WRAR. The same feed is also used by Zolo, Zillow, etc. I agree that there’s a fine line between helping a buyer envision a property and misidentifying it.

This is still happening. I went earlier this year and was charged a 10% 'Destination Fee' at a restaurant. The waiter claimed it was mandatory and they couldn't remove it. Hopefully some of that goes to them, because no one at our table left a tip.

They bought the trademark for $75,000. The domain was sold for $11 million. Source.

The best part is that when you're salty about losing the auction, you can just go report it on GSC. Assured mutual destruction.

How someone sleeps...

Welcome @leonid! It's sweet we've got so many company reps on this forum.

This house is in my town and was built in the 1830s. The maximum fine under the Ontario Heritage Act is $1 million, which is chump change considering it’s in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Canada. The developer is a convicted sex offender, so he’s a great guy, no doubt. Our town is home...

Reuters published an investigation showing that internal Meta documents projected about 10% of Meta’s 2024 revenue — roughly $16 billion — came from ads linked to scams or banned products. These ads included investment fraud, fake crypto platforms, illegal online casinos, and unapproved medical...

Google removing ads from parked domains is a death blow. Sucks for those trying to make an extra buck off their domain, but there were far too many bad apples in the bunch. I made a post a while back showing fake ads on Instagram that encouraged visitors to click links on parked domains. My feed...

Spaceship vs Afternic, possibly. NameCheap vs GoDaddy, no. Given PE's "if you can't beat them, buy them" mentality, do you think Spaceship will eventually be acquired by GoDaddy?
