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.

Screw the vote? I don't care WHAT Gian Ghomeshi says! I still think there is something worth voting for!! lol...

And I think it's about time the CIBC won something for their efforts, don't you?

Here's your chance to make sure they do!!!!

I received the CBC Marketplace newsletter in my inbox this morning...they are requesting response to a survey. *ahem* ...and I quote...

"What's the absolute worst experience you've had with the many goods and services that make our lives tick? Marketplace wants to hear from you! If you have a story you'd like to share with us, fill out the survey on our website here:

http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/worst_of/survey.html"

I nominated them under the "Customer Service" category. Personally, I think they are a shoe-in!!!

What about it, Mark? Shall we put the link on the main page? I'd hate to see the CIBC miss out on something they deserve so much!!!!!!!

Poly!!!!!!!!!!

The threat of an elected socialist government got us universal health care in the 1960', and it can work today to make education affordable for all students in Canada.

13 first world nations have no tuition fees for university. It's time Canada's Liberal governments made university accessable for all Canadians. The time is now for social democracy in Canada. Make the ultimate protest on election day. Vote NDP and send a message to Paul Martin that you're fed up with student loan debt sentences, the haggling and the misery it causes so many of us.  

And if you want to mail bomb Paul Martin himself and tell him how dissatisfied you are with his Liberal government's underfunding of universities and colleges accross our great land, then here's his emailto: pm@pm.gc.ca

 

The federal NDP will offer affordable education. University is free in the social democracies of Europe, and their national debts aren't as large as ours or the U.S.A's.
