- News Commentary
0:43 | Americans making less than $125,000 annually will be eligible for up to $10,000 of their federal student loans. Ahead of our interview at 39:06 with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Ryan addresses some of the early praise and criticism around the announcement by President Joe Biden.
8:28 | The Mass Casualty Commission in Halifax has shone a light on the inner workings (and dysfunction) within the RCMP. We bring you some of the key moments of RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki's testimony, and highlight some of the responses we've received from Real Talkers to talk@ryanjespersen.com.
18:48 | RCMP Commissioner Lucki says concerns over political interference in the police investigation have been overblown, and she's growing frustrated with questions on the subject. Rod Giltaca would disagree. The CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights tells us what stood out to him through Lucki's testimony at the MCC, and shares how he sees the gun lobby in the US and Canada as completely separate entities.

39:06 | It took Elamin Abdelmahmoud ten years to pay off his $45,000 student loan, and it goes without saying he's not alone. The senior culture writer for BuzzFeed News explains why forgiving student loans isn't a slap in the face, but the right thing to do. Elamin and Ryan discuss the political viability of "free" post-secondary education in Canada, and the debt load facing younger adults.
