    Its the “pull up the ladder” phenomenon. You even see it in places you wouldn’t expect, like US workers opposing student loan forgiveness proposals because they had to pay, and want to make damn sure everyone else has to go through the pain that they did.

      Yet I’m called childish when I say the student loan forgiveness shit was just a cheap grab of public support. It is not actually doing anything to prevent further accumulation of more debt for future students.

        Yeah, Canadian universities and colleges are subsidized and collectively bargain for having Canadian students

        Unfortunately provinces refused to raise the amount given with inflation so the schools turned to international students and imported a lot of people
