This was an eye-opener for me. Less temporary foreign workers do construction than the general population? Seriously?

Here’s the thing… If there’s an easy answer we’ve already done it. Sometimes an answer is hard because of trade-offs or technical requirements… Sometimes it’s just hard because of conflicting interests and lobbying. But, if it’s easy, we do it… No politician ever is allergic to easy wins.

That all said, if you have a good idea, especially at a local level, don’t blindly assume it’s been thought of and rejected already.

That’s the actual purpose of lobbying.

On a similar note.

Just because a politician looking to be voted into power suggests a simple solution for something, don’t blindly assume that solution will actually have any impact.
