News trading discussion - continuation

EURUSD has been on a rally the past half hour. Is it due to any specific news?

I would like you to pay attention to the news calendar.

Question:
Canadian prime minister resigned today. It was heavily forecasted and discussed since morning (London open time). However, both USD and EUR went down against CAD.
The very same happened a month ago when one of EU's strongest nation, France fired its government, and EURUSD went up.

So I'm confused, I would think if something, then a goverment's resign would affect the currency negatively, but it's the second time in a month that we see the opposite. So what do I see wrong, can sy explain why huge political news doesnt affect the currency so fast as economic news?

I wouldnt think about 'sell the news' cause when the whole world reads these news, the mass would react to that and the investor should go with the momentum. That's my logic, but the market proves me wrong. Can sy help?
