Update: The CBC covers the story with video on Facebook and the government decision.

I wonder if this means Ontario government human resources personnel won’t be able to look up embarassing information on potential new hires as well.
I hope the Federal and other provincial governments follow suit.
If politicians want to be on Facebook (even if it for connecting with the general populace), they should do it on their own time and on their own computer.
I do not want my tax money to be contributing to someone\’s lesisurely activities in the parliament.
Serf
As a low-level federal employee, I can safely say I can’t get on facebook either.
It\’s about time. Half my co-workers within the provincial gov\’t were spending their entire day on Facebook while I was busy trying to finish deals.
