We are prepared to tweet nice things about any Liberal MP who joins their colleagues in the NDP, the Conservatives and the Greens by calling on the government to do the bare minimum for students and recent graduates.
All parties should agree on this.
#DontForgetStudents
What the Liberal gov't promised students & recent graduates:
❌A billion dollars for summer employment
❌A moratorium on repaying student loans
❌No loan interest collected during the pandemic
What the Liberal gov't delivered:
✔️More debt
✔️More hardship

If both the #NDP and #CPC actually agree on an issue, it’s got to be a pretty big deal.
Multiple parties acknowledge that students and recent grads have been completely excluded from COVID-19 relief.
What will it take for @JustinTrudeau to do something about it? #cdnpoli

100 days ago @HMcPhersonMP's motion to extend Canada's student loan freeze passed unanimously in the House of Commons.
And yet... still don't have a student loan freeze.

By unanimous consent, the #HoC adopted a motion regarding the extension on the moratorium on repaying student loans from October 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021.

It's been 150 days since Canada's student loan freeze ended. Here's what @JustinTrudeau's government has done for recent graduates since:

We're also still waiting for an official government response from @CFSFCEE @dontforgetstdns's petition to freeze student loan payments.
Reply/RT to remind @CQualtro @JustinTrudeau that we're not giving up on a loan freeze ⤵️

This morn @Laurel_BC presented our petition with the @CFSFCEE calling for pandemic relief & stimulus for post-secondary students & recent grads. Thank you the nearly 10K people who signed the petition! We look forward to the government response & will continue to call for action.

Retweet this if you've repaid your student loans but still want to cancel student debt because it's the right thing to do.
@FreezeTheNSLSC
Would any of our followers who have had the misfortune of dealing with the @nslsc recently care to let them know how their "Loan Repayment options" have worked out?
Their handling of the RAP program was so bad that it made national news.

Hi @FreezeTheNSLSC, The Government of Canada paused student loan payments from March 30 to September 30, 2020. If you still need help, there are Loan Repayment options available: ow.ly/6UoA30rwJp4
People have been dragging the @nslsc all day (and justifiably so), but it's important to remember that the real villains here are politicians like @CQualtro, @cafreeland and @JustinTrudeau.
They are the ones who are forcing us to pay back student loans during the pandemic.

Who’s going to tell them @dontforgetstdns @HMcPhersonMP?
Students & recent graduates have been devastated by COVID-19.
Today I brought forward a motion calling on the gov't to extend the loan repayment moratorium until 2021. The motion passed with unanimous consent!
This is the good news that recent graduates needed!

Now that we have @CQualtro, @JustinTrudeau and @nslsc together on this app:
We and @dontforgetstdns would like to remind you that Canadians are still waiting on the student loan freeze we were promised.

We had some great segments last night on Canada Tonight, including the long term impacts on recent grads “failure to launch” during the pandemic. Thanks @pattyfacy for speaking with us

Students’ economic prospects have been permanently damaged by the pandemic.
Cancelling tuition is the best way to help students get back on their feet.
NEW from @katekorte.

Check out our segment with @Ginella_M @CBCNews last night!
One important correction: the description states that our focus is on students/CESB expansion. This is incorrect. We are asking the gov to focus on *new grads* by freezing student loan payments.
