Default Payday Loans Regulation in Ontario
Starting April 1st consumers taking out payday loans in Ontario can be charged a maximum of $21 for every $100 borrowed. The provincial officials announced that the new regulations were introduced to protect consumers. There is a new requirement for all payday loan lenders to be licensed.

This is good news, and should have been done a long time ago. Payday loans are evil.

I also don't like payday loans, however government regulation is rarely good.

I also hate government regulation in general, but some things like payday loans and predatory lending need to be regulated or banned.

I've never taken out a payday loan, but I know people who have and I also think that heavily regulating payday loans is a good thing.

This is the only thing I agree with you on.

Payday loans are something that you should avoid taking at any cost. I hope I will never have to be forced to take a payday loan. It is good that there is a regulation now...

Keep in mind that regulation will drive the payday loan lenders out of the province. I don't like payday loans either, however I recognize the fact that some people might need them...

That's exactly my thinking - less regulation better results...

With the current economic conditions, we are likely to see more regulation than ever, which will only delay the recovery.
