That's the impression they may give sometimes, but it's probably just politicians are better at politics, as business people are maybe better at business, than economics. We as the Canadian public shouldn't automatically assume people in charge of something always know that they are doing, or the information we get from the media is accurate or well intentioned, quite the contrary! people in charge are frequently, just like anybody else. If media were insightful or brave, they would maybe doing something else, they avoid truth for fear putting employment at risk possibly and or biases of editors bosses possibly. The public knows.
