I don't see any reason why it would be outside of the realm of possibilities. I think I'll say yes just to be optimistic.

I feel like Canada is far more likely to see debt forgiveness than the United States. We tend to be more progressive in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to workers rights.

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
