A Canadian politician faced a backlash after he posted a picture on social media of his wife shoveling snow after she had worked a 12-hour hospital shift.
Jon Reyes, a Manitoba Cabinet minister, faced the wrath of Twitter followers for standing inside in the warmth and taking the photo while his wife, Cynthia Reyes, shoveled snow in below-freezing temperatures.
"Even after a 12 hour night shift at the hospital last night, my wife still has the energy to shovel the driveway," Reyes tweeted Saturday morning. "God bless her and all our frontliners. Time to make her some breakfast."
The tweet went viral, but not for the reasons Reyes would have hoped. Twitter users berated the Cabinet minister for not helping his wife and for not having the driveway already shoveled before she returned home.
