Students will become productive citizens in Canadian society, and hence will be able to pay back the debt through taxes when they are working high paying jobs in the future.

Education is a necessity for everyone, some students can't work because of their busy schedule and while focusing on their studies, the government should provide them with grants whenever needed.

 @9FCPKWNLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

If students are enthralled with student loans this will negatively affect the economy as students paychecks will be consumed by debt payments.

 @9F9BHJHfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Students should not pay off any loan. The grant should come from the government as they are getting funds from the taxes.

 @9F9574FLiberalfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

that everyone has the right to a proper education and they shouldn't have to go broke just to get that need

 @9F8NW4Rfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

The best counter argument would be that in order for more students to use the money for healthcare or anything in the moment

 @9FGY6Q6Liberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

As lots of students, when graduate from university or college, cannot find jobs that can help them pay back their student loans and at the same time support their own needs, it's important to decrease the interest rate more, force universities and colleges to reduce the tuition fee, and even forgive the student loan debt for some serious situation

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
