Question:
Anybody know who or where to call concerning Student Loan Forgiveness? Looking for info for the Canada and Ontario programs.

Answer:
Perhaps you should visit the nearest prison, where other criminals who swindle society are now living. If you accept a loan, at least arrange to repay it,particularly when you get it from the taxpayers. Otherwise, you are just another functionally illiterate criminal. Personally, I feel that there should be NO STUDENT LOANS.

Either the student works to earn the full tuition,or he can work elsewhere, or just starve. THere is no forgiveness. However, if you're poor, and are forced to default, there's nothing they can do. Mr. Acumen has obviously earned his user name (not!). Basic finance - a loan is an investment in an uncertain future. If the future goes sour, the loan is quite often repaid at a reduced amount. This works for businesses (just ask the Reichmanns) so why should it not work for individuals. One of the best comments I heard was on a call-in show where one person called in and said that anyone who did not repay their student loan should be forced to give up their degree. Five minutes later someone called and said that they would gladly give up their degree if they could get rid of their student loan. If you depend on ANYTHING that a student produced or built that received a loan from the BANK (the government guarantees it bozo), then you have no right offending so many people by making such immature comments. Doctors, lawyers, politicians, construction workers, engineers, retail staff, waiters, nurses, and a million other occupations all have people that took out loans to go to school. If it was not for these individuals, you would not be enjoying your life as it is today. Your freenet account is probably run by someone that went to university or college that took out a student loan. Your Software Alberta Society has many members that have received student loans. Ever grow up in a single parent income family and had a dream of becoming something greater than someone without a degree? A student loan teaches people to be responsible. A lot of students have had no experience with credit and it is an awakening for most (although rude after four years of hard work). I e-mailed your post to the Software Alberta Society to see what they think of your statements. Who knows, maybe they will make you treasurer. Mike Potter $20,000 in loans, never missed a payment. I heard was on a call-in show where one person called in and said that anyone who did not repay their student loan should be forced to give up their degree. That wouldn't likely work. Once you've gotten an education, they can't take that away from you. If they try, there would be a mive brain-drain in this country. I know I wouldn't stick around. Pathetic worthless rightoids. Gotta hate 'em. There is no forgiveness. However, if you're poor, and are forced to default, there's nothing they can do. I believe there is now. At least a friend of mine in Nova Scotia had a large part of his loan forgiven.
