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.

I feel like students are here to receive an education. The 20K should be subsidized to the students instead of loans.
Unequivocally NO. Pay your damn debts like everyone else. Major in something productive that will afford you a career or job that will allow you to finance your life and pay off what you thought was worth borrowing for.

Its not fair if other people would pay more or if too little its still money. Make universities affordable.

Government should get out of giving Student Loans.
the goverment should pay for all education like the europian model
We can give some scholarships to students who have debt, and forgive some low income students
Cost of post secondary education should be lowered

It would be a great idea if Canada had a surplus of revenue.
Yes because most people go into debt because of student loans
@99774WB2yrs2Y
No, but loan payments can be used as a tax write-off
The education system should be more privatized.
If they had $6000 or more owing yes.
No, but eliminate interest on student loans
Again more money for immigrants, while the rest of us are paying $1000 monthly interest to banks on our debt.
