Thomas F. Pawlick exposes the exploitation and entrapment in Canada's student loan system: a system that ruins the careers, health and hopes of thousands while lining the pockets of banks, collection agencies and bureaucrats. Students are driven to abandon school for minimum-wage work, prostitution or gambling to pay debts. Some commit suicide. Others flee Canada with their expertise, brain draining the economy. A two-tiered system is created, favoring the wealthy, while sentencing the rest to lifetime debt.
