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.

A few weeks ago I e-mailed a letter the the Premier Of Alberta. To tell him off. You see I went to college to become a teacher assistant but because of all the cut backs in education they are not hireing any. So I wrote to ask why they were pushing payment. I told him how can I pay them there money when it is there fault I can not get a job I as well said that when they but more money in to education so I can get a job then I would pay them there money. Any ways I got a letter today sayingThank you for the e-mail and how it is important to find out the issues of Albertian so things can be done with it as well he forward copys to the Minister of human resources and employment as well to the minister of advanced educationfor there review and further response. So I wounder if they will actually get back to me and if any thing will be done about it or if I will get a line of bull.

girl, been there done that, have a stack of reply letters sitting here beside me.

you will get a reply back from some schlep working for each of the other ministers your rant was forwarded to thanking you for your suggestions, this is what they have pledged towards education in the current budget, they are sorry to hear about your troubles, yadda yadda yadda

bottom line is alliance one wont give a rats ass if you wrote the PM, they just want to be paid.  but it does feel good to write the letters, and if enough people do it they will have to consider doing something eventually.

they do track how many letters they recieve and what they are about.  it helps to implement future policy changes, so it does serve a purpose down the road.

keep writing anyways, maybe they will get tired of hearing from you and help you out - that's what i'm hoping for !
