Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NPD party, proposes forgiving up to $20,000 of student loan debt and doubling student grants, as well as giving new graduates a five-year grace period for federal loan payments. This is based on the fact that, according to studies, in recent years, numerous students have been unable to repay their academic loans.

@8VJCD534yrs4Y
No, but tuition should be capped and texts/required literature for classes/courses should be more affordable.
@9BW5LZR2yrs2Y
No, it doesn't erase the actual problem of student debt
@9B5S4DZ2yrs2Y
Post secondary education should be free
Higher education should be free, like in many other high-income countries.
Depends on the amount of tuition paid... tax break or loan break of 15-20% of the loan taken out would be better because then there's still income coming in from the loans but the students have some reprive.
Yes, and make post-secondary free.
@96VC4HF2yrs2Y
I think it shouldn't be completely removed but the rate should be lowered and students should have more time to pay the dept
@8VSSFCLNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Depends on the earning potential of the individual who has the loan
