    1. For real. The average IQ and attention spans of Gen Z would skyrocket if TikTok was banned.

    1. It’s a simple work phone that you use to connect with other ministries & departments. They essentially control your phone, which is why you’re given a separate phone for work. Plus, not every department or ministry gets their own phone.

  1. The fact this is new and not that ANY time wasting apps are installed on gov phones that taxpayers pay for IS the issue.
    They shouldnt even need text messaging and should be standard issue flip phones. If im paying for that phone and I call it then I dang well expect you to pick up!

    They need to be treated like giving your young child a phone. It NOT for calling your friends and playing games.

    1. As a person who is married to a person with a work phone, yes I agree no time wasting apps, however, ability to check email and other apps are important

    1. @A O Not on a Government Phone lmao. It depends on what department/ministry you’re in. My ministry & section for the province of Ontario, you barely have time to even have lunch because of the inundated work we’re sent from other ministries. Others kinda loaf around.

    2. Government workers r doing regular jobs with regular pay its not as if they are earning millions.. it starts from 34k.. u cant possibly expect them to be like sweatshop workers with no access to phones or anything so ridiculous lol all govt workers are not ministers

  2. Wht are government employees using government phones (that taxpayers bought) to mess about on TicTok? Shouldn’t they actually be working, pretending to earn their vastly inflated incomes?

  3. Well, they should ban all the apps not related to work, not just tiktok. It’s a work phone paid by tax payers anyway. They can play on whatever they want with their personal devices after work.

  4. 🤣 We will have shortage of the coffee in Canada if you ban tik tok on gov. phones. Please do not do that
