I’d be interested in knowing what in the article sounds like an “American media perspective” (especially given the The Economist is British).

It seems fairly measured for an article written before the Liberals had confirmed Carney as the new leader. It agrees with you that the Liberals were starting to recover after Trudeau’s resignation, before the trade war started, and that’s it not just Trump helping them come back but Carney’s bona fides as a proven economic handler.

I’m not seeing anything too off-base.
