I know many of them were unable to afford it outright, which required them to get student loans, but if they were accepted into university, they managed to get that loan. Poor grades were much more prohibitive to attending post-secondary education than poor finances. So who are these people that want to attend university and are getting turned down for student loans? How many more individuals will be able to attend post secondary education if it were free? Since you are here extolling the virtues of free tuition, I am sure you have this answer, so if you could share it with me, it would be appreciated.

It's definitely the bolded, but also tuition costs in the U.S. are much higher than those in Canada.
