In the modern media landscape, readers have the ability to consume and interact with news like never before.

In our ongoing efforts to provide readers with the best possible and most useful online experience, NorthernLife.ca is always looking for ways to improve that experience, which is why we are so proud and excited to announce the launch of a new commenting system for our website.

The desire of readers to comment on news stories and discuss the big stories of the day with fellow readers continues to increase. With this in mind, NorthernLife.ca has moved to take that experience one step further.

Our new commenting system, supported by Disqus, simplifies the posting process and allows for complete integration with social platforms such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and OpenID.

Newly added features include a full flagging system, the option to “like” another user’s comment and the ability to reply to a specific comment, a popular feature on Facebook and other social media engines that NorthernLife.ca readers can now enjoy.

What's more, we now offer readers the option of subscribing to an article's comment thread by RSS or even get email alerts when a new comment is posted.

This offers readers an unprecedented opportunity take part in the conversation around the news stories that are happening right now.

NorthernLife.ca invites you to select the new Disqus login method. By doing so, you will be able to create your own profile and keep track of all your commenting history in one central location. This comment management system, from a user’s stand point, will offer full and complete control of your comments today and in the future.

Join the conversation and try out our new system today. Get the news, comment on the news, debate the news — at NorthernLife.ca.
