When and if the bubble bursts, then he might honestly start using that term.
I have seen many reports of a 15-20% bubble in the Canadian economy, however:

If it is "Generally accepted by many analysts, banks, economists etc" that there is a 30 to 60% bubble , please provide a few links to back this up from different respectable institutions and economists showing a greater then 50% expected drop? A respectable economists isn't "Mr Joe who runs a blog" but someone who has appeared in/on a major news outlook, or someone you can provide credentials for.
