Another Ontario Liberal candidate forced to apologize for an inappropriate Facebook post

Warning to all you future politicians and politician wannabes: be careful with what you post on social media, journalists and bloggers are on the prowl.

Another Ontario Liberal candidate is in hot water after a media outlet discovered an inappropriate post on his Facebook page.

According to Sun News, the Liberal's Niagara West-Glanbrook candidate, David Mossey, had a picture of the "behinds of two scantily-clad women and asking if you could tell which one did squats."

Mossey has now removed the picture from his Facebook page and says he's sorry.

"I sincerely apologize for the inappropriate post on my Facebook page which I have now removed. I exercised poor judgment but it was certainly not my intent to offend anyone," he said in a statement, according to Sun News.

"As I told the premier when I apologized to her, I am proud to be a candidate for a party with a strong record of standing up for the rights of all women."

This story comes on the heels of a similar incident over the weekend.

Another Liberal candidate -- Nepean-Carleton's Jack Uppal was outed by media for a sexist post that caught the attention of the Ontario Progressive Conservative.

They copied and pasted this screen shot -- from Uppal's Facebook page -- on to a statement asking Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne to fire him.

Uppal's apology was accepted by Wynne but that wasn't good enough for the PCs.

"An apology is simply not enough. Either Kathleen Wynne supports her candidate and his offensive comments or she must immediately remove him," PC candidate Laurie Scott said in a statement.

"I think people across Ontario are offended by these types of comments that diminish the contributions women have made to politics."

The Tories are now saying that the Liberals didn't do a good enough vetting their candidates. But how far should parties go?

We saw similar social media faux-pas take place during the Quebec election.

The Journal de Montreal spotted a post by PQ candidate who had posted an image of a half-naked women with text that said "F#$% Islam."

On a much lighter note, the French-language newspaper also uncovered some Facebook pictures of a Coaltion Avenir Quebec candidate baring his butt.

Should media be creeping candidates' Facebook profiles to find embarrassing posts?
