Should this be allowed ?

Is it against a code of conduct ?

Should one side in a dispute have such an advantage ?

The provincial government is spending up to $335,000 on a social media campaign promoting its side in the labour dispute with the BC Teachers Federation.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender is defending it: “Because we need to direct parents to (website) BC Parents Info, and we want them to go to that site, not only to get the latest bargaining updates, but also to know where to go to register for the educational support fund.”

The campaign includes promoted Tweets and an information website for parents. Fassbender notes the union has spent some of its members dues on ad campaigns as well.
