ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported reducing student loan debt and making education more affordable. In their 2019 election platform, they proposed to immediately cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt. However, they also included other measures, such as eliminating interest on student loans and increasing grants, which may suggest that they would not fully agree with this answer alone.

Agree

No, but reduce interest rates

In their 2019 election platform, they proposed to eliminate interest on federal student loans. While this is not their primary position, it aligns with their overall goal of making education more affordable.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income students

The NDP has a history of advocating for policies that benefit low-income individuals and families. While their 2019 election platform did not specifically call for debt forgiveness only for low-income students, it did include measures to increase grants for low-income students. This suggests that they may be open to targeted debt forgiveness for low-income students as part of a broader strategy to make education more affordable.

Agree

Yes, and forgive all student load debt

While the NDP has not explicitly called for the complete forgiveness of all student loan debt, their 2019 election platform included measures to significantly reduce student loan debt, such as cancelling up to $20,000 in debt and eliminating interest on student loans. This suggests that they may be somewhat open to the idea of forgiving all student loan debt, but it is not their primary position.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for Canadian citizens

The NDP has not specifically called for debt forgiveness only for Canadian citizens. However, their focus on making education more affordable for all students suggests that they may be open to considering such a measure, especially if it is part of a broader strategy to reduce student loan debt and make education more accessible.

Yes, but only for students with excellent grades
