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.

Adopt the model used in Norway and surrounding - all citizens pay higher taxes, but get free education and overall improve the country
@9VRCJWV1mo1MO
I feel like students are here to receive an education. The 20K should be subsidized to the students instead of loans.
@9VP5Y8W1mo1MO
I think the government should forgive student loans and/or pay for the eduction for fields that are needed, nurses, teachers, and have them sign contract to work in a jurisdiction for a length of time
@9VMP4KL1mo1MO
yes but on a situation to situation basis and if the student has potential to pay it off in the future u can lower interest rates
@9VGGMWS2mos2MO
Yes, but only for Canadian citizens and based on grades earned or agreement to work in areas where their skills are needed if applicable.
