we want our governments to make promises based on what they believe makes sense
Get into government and evaluate if given all the new data their promises still make sense
Make a decision that best fufills the promise made in the election given the realities of the current data.
In this case the intention of the promise is to get the best fighter jet for Canada for its future military roles.

I disagree. I think there's a limit. Otherwise I could just promise to lower taxes to 0%, raise everyone's income, pay our teachers a gazillion dollars and everything. Then get into office and be like "oops, guess it wasn't possible."
But yiu are right. It's the voter's fault for being duped rather than the politicians themselves.
