The Canadian Liberals and NDP folks have been against the loonie's rise, because they fear that revenues will shrink and that Canadians will buy more from the USA. The Economist is a London publication. IMO, UK and Canadian leftists are hoping to incite US nationalism toward buying more from Canada (see NAFTA, Mexico).
