Is Europe's sovereign debt bubble finally bursting, and could Canada be heading down the same economic path? Today, we're joined by economist and fund manager Daniel Lacalle to discuss the growing risks in global sovereign debt markets, Europe's economic stagnation, the consequences of central bank policies, and the striking similarities between Europe's economic challenges and Canada's. We also explore EU-Canada trade relations, energy policy, and the political shifts unfolding across Europe. Is the so-called "Everything Bubble" finally beginning to burst?
