Let Us Jog Your Memory

Has the problem of unpaid student loans been allowed to fester so long that people have actually forgotten how much money they owe? Apparently it has.

While many outside experts have acknowledged that the collections process needed to resume at some point, they’ve warned that recent upheaval within the Education Department and student lending program could end up creating new problems for borrowers, many of whom may not realize they still owe their debts after years of not having to pay them.

There are currently more than 5 million borrowers with loans in default, who will be immediately affected by the restart. Millions more Americans are expected to fall deeply past due on their student debts in the coming months, with a large bulge in the fall.

Sam Cooper- Conservative Candidate Joe Tay Paused Public Campaigning After Chinese Threat Warning

Two sources with awareness of the matter said the move came after the SITE Task Force—Canada’s election-threat monitor—confirmed that Tay is the subject of a highly coordinated transnational repression operation tied to the People’s Republic of China. The campaign seeks not only to discredit Tay, but to suppress the ability of Chinese Canadian voters to access his campaign messages online, via cyber operations conducted by Beijing’s internet authorities.

Now, with six days until Canada’s pivotal vote—in an election likely to be decided across key Toronto battleground ridings—it appears that Tay’s ability to reach voters in person has also been downgraded.

Conservatives Pounce!

“When Republicans screw up, that’s the story. When Democrats screw up, the Republicans’ reaction is the story. – Jim Treacher

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pounced on a government report that he argues predicts a “terrifying” world in 2040 to warn voters of the dangers of giving the Liberals a fourth term — but the actual report is far more nuanced.

@joe_warmingtonHere’s my question to ⁦@PierrePoilievre today — I was heckled and berated for asking it by other media. It offers insight to me why they perhaps were not offered a seat on the bus.

Great Success!

BC Rental Project- Vancouver Breaks Its Own Rules to Build Middle-Income Housing—A Sign of a Broken Market

In a striking demonstration of how dysfunctional Vancouver’s rental market has become, the city is being forced to break its own regulations just to make a middle-income housing project viable. This raises serious concerns about government interference in housing development and its role in exacerbating the affordability crisis.
