I think its because fascism is the new market trend. According to my Russian troll manual, courtesy of Jimwd, it says here that the demand for fascist products are high and universal sadness is down. This caused a huge trade imbalance with Canada as their production line of sadness is over supplying, creating an abundance of sadness in Canada. If Canada can stop producing sadness and start adopting fascism you will see the exchange rate reach parity.
