Harper did do it. He wrote off 300 million in student loans in 2015.

A lib complaining about conservatives writing off students loans! Bwhahahaah!
Now I have seen everything!

Two things.

1) Not a liberal.
2) Not complaining. Pointing out he forgave a loan in an election year in an attempt to garner votes.

You've got to be shitting me. You're seriously comparing the writing off of a debt to a man who's worth over 8 billion dollars and who owns a chain of newspapers to the writing off some student loans.

Two things. One, the loan was not to a man, but to a company. Two, you said

$1:

This isn't just the normal spending spree by the incumbent gov't it's attempting to influencing an election by forgiving Canadian Taxpayer funded loans.

Which is exactly what Harper was doing. Just because I agree with the forgiveness of the student loans and don't agree with the forgiveness of these loans doesn't change that fact. I'm just able to see past my own opinions to see that, and clearly, you aren't.

So, you're going to compare the Irving's Companies to a group of students, fair enough I suppose?

Maybe, the best way to settle this is to ask yourself who has the most potential influence in an upcoming election, a news paper chain run by a family who continually gets grants and loan relief while sending their money to tax haven's offshore or, a group of indebted university students from a demographic that normally doesn't vote?

But, you know my answer don't you? Especially in light of the fact that the current Liberal Gov't has promised 595 million dollars of taxpayers money to the media barons while continuing a long string of debt forgiveness and that's not an opinion it's a fact.

No gov't should be forgiving debts or giving grants to companies and corporations who avoid paying Canadian Taxes while amassing billions in profits while operating in our country and it doesn't matter if it's owned by K.C. Irving or Paul Martin.

Not at all, but both are tax payer funded loans are they not? They were both forgiven were they not? Not my fault you failed to choose your words carefully.

I assume you missed the part where I said I don't agree with the forgiveness of the loan. You don't have to convince me that forgiving it was political nonsense in an attempt to curry favour to the Liberals. It was a shit loan to begin with in that it was apparently written in such a way that wouldn't require it to be paid back. Which isn't a loan, that's a gift.

Which isn't a loan, that's a gift.

Or possibly a bribe?

What a sweetheart deal. Only have to pay back 1% of what you were "loaned". "Well, they made an effort and that's all that matters". Yeah, meanwhile I'm STILL fighting with Revenue Canada about their fraudulent audit of me.

Hey, you'll get no argument from me. I left a job at one point and went on EI for a few months, and the shit heads at Employment Canada came after me about like 12 dollars or something. And they did it a year after I had started working and gone back to school.
