This website is a testimony to the problems Canadian Student Loan borrowers experienced from approximately 1996 to 2008 and until their loans were paid off.

The privatization of the Student Loans system by the Chretien and Martin Liberal governments broke the system and defaulted thousands of borrowers who were trying to pay their loans. There were even stories of suicide due to the harassment of borrowers.

Read the report that I prepared back in 2007 here. Canada Student Loans-The Need for Change Fortunately the new Conservative government at the time revamped the program and fixed the system for new borrowers, but borrowers under the previous program were left with ruined credit and continued harassment from debt collectors.

I call on the Canadian Government to apologize to the borrowers affected by this fiasco and make amends.

Unfortunately the Liberal government is again clobbering the Education system with their changes to International Student Visas. Yes, there's a problem, but instead of a well thought out plan, they have pulled the emergency brake on the train causing a derailment. This has introduced unprecedented instability for both private and public education institutions who serve both international and local students.

Universities have been forced to cancel programs and layoff hundreds if not thousands of full-time and contract instructors.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment.

Hi all,
 
I was surprised to read this in my local paper this a.m.  Signed by Monte Solberg (have they sent these out to all the papers this morning?)
 
 
"The best way to gather information is to have discussions with the people directly involved and that is what we are doing. The process will result in changes that will be announced in the 2008 budget." 
 
Aren't these discussions going on behind closed doors?  "..the people directly involved?"  Like who?   I'd love to know how they'll be investing that $800 million.
 
Hippy

Well, what goes around comes around. Since they say they want to listen, I found monty's email address and send him all the copies of the complaints compiled from CSD, the other websites and all the complaints I sent to CIBC.

Now they should have the whole picture!
