We are now cascading into the next sovereign debt crisis that we have already begun to witness in France, where government debt falls below corporate and French sovereign rates, which have exceeded those of Greece. There is little question that the Canadian economy has turned down with the Economic Confidence Model (ECM) turning point here in May 2024. When we…
