It's not about being unable to examine broader issues, it's that using prejudice as an attempt to do so is flawed. Being aware that the Quebec construction industry is more corrupt is a fine thing to include in your examination of something, but assuming then that all Quebec construction companies are corrupt and making judgements based on that is lazy.

It’s a straw man then because no one did that. He’s trotting out an opposing view that no one supports or made.
