"I've yet to meet a designer that knows zero code but can produce really top shelf digital work."
Maybe in Canada this is unusual? I do contract work for many agencies in SD and LA and I love the fact that I can just focus on design and not having to deal with code at all. That's just the way it works in the states these days (at least in the largest shops).
Maybe you are thinking that we as designers just open photoshop send to developer and hope for the best?
There's meetings with project managers, production artists, art directors, UX designers, Developers, etc its a team work.
On a small projects/ shops I can see the need for one person to do it all, but please do not under estimate the skill of a good designer just because he doesn't code, I think it's an understatement that you need to know and understand what you are designing for, this is one of the differences between design and art, you have a message to communicate and in order to do it right, you need to understand it, and the medium.
