By "management crisis" I mean roughly "talk a good line, but get Fs on execution".
The actual managers involved may actually be more than competent, for all I know; at the actual government level the failure is in willingness to really act on what they know as a crisis. (Or on other matters: this weekend's Globe had an article listing a whole set of issues the Liberals have allowed to run without addressing (fighter jets, Huawei as a 5G provider, high-speed rail, etc.).)
This is in contrast to some other jurisdictions where it's fairly clear that a large part of the ruling groups don't (for ideological reasons) really recognize the existence of a crisis at all, and make no real pretence of taking it seriously (this applies to both COVID and climate change).
But yes, even COVID, which is the more minor challenge, requires substantial change in how things are done and what sorts of economic activities are successful (or even licit) and nobody wants to confront that.
