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.

Yes, but only for low income Canadian citizens

No, but remove interest rates
@B3DJY382mos2MO
No, because we paid over $100,000 for my daughter to be educated. (She had no student loan but we had the loan)
@B2VK5QV2mos2MO
I don’t think it’s a good idea to waste money on useless thing and Let the people with student loans suffer
@9CBGNZD2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for low income students who are Canadian citizens

Yes, but it should be allowed based off of income. I.e if you make over 70k personally you can pay your student debt.

The government should give out tax free loans to students. These loans can then be repaid by a percentage of their wages, similar to an income tax, but instead be a repayment tax.
