That’s a lesson that Vancouver NDP candidate Ray Lam learned the hard way when his private Facebook photos were made public. On the one hand, it seems that Facebook privacy settings may not be enough to keep private what you may not want to share beyond your friends. On the other hand, when you are running for public office, guess you should expect that any and all of your embarrasing past will be dredged up for public scrutiny. Guess we’re not looking for real human beings in government?!
