For some reasons some politicians really want to keep the CAD as low as possible?

I recall a pitch to Amazon for their headquarters that they could get away outsourcing for cheaper over there.

I think the value of CAD depends on BoC decisions, not politicians. They can increase its value, for example by increasing interest rates, but that would cause an increase in unemployment. I don't think there is a mechanism to increase value of CAD without also messing up some other part of the economy, e.g. employment or inflation.
