Citizens’ Services Minister Terry Beech and five other Liberal MPs have been buying Facebook ads in the last month despite cabinet announcing a boycott of government advertising on that media platform.

Mr. Beech spent $1,094 on Facebook ads, as per records from parent company Meta, according to Blacklock’s Reporter. His ads were placed to assure his constituents in Burnaby, B.C., that he is “working hard” for them.
