A profile linked to a married Lower Mainland federal politician has emerged on an online dating app.
Industry Minister James Moore has appeared on Tinder.
The profile shows a picture of the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP, listing his age as 38 years old with the name James.
It links to his official parliamentary Facebook page.
An expert who has researched the app at SFU tells us in order for this to happen someone would need Moore’s login information, which would include email, username and password.
“The Minister has never created or used a Tinder account. The Minister has frequently been the victim of impersonation on social media. Unfortunately, this is a reality of being a public figure,” Moore’s office said in an emailed statement.
Tinder allows mobile users to find others near them, looking for dates.
