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 think if they can pay it then the government should get them to pay but if the students literally aren't able to afford it and its ruining your life they should be allowed to refuse those ones and forget about it.

No, put the ownest on the post secondary institutions, there is no reason for the ridiculously overpriced classes and required resources.
@9ZNW7W51mo1MO
Yes but only for low income/ immigrant students with over average grades as not all do well in school but in other areas of interest.
@9VVJGFW2mos2MO
Adopt the model used in Norway and surrounding - all citizens pay higher taxes, but get free education and overall improve the country
@9VRCJWV3mos3MO
I feel like students are here to receive an education. The 20K should be subsidized to the students instead of loans.
