In a lengthy Facebook post, she later explained that shoveling snow is "a great workout, it allowed me to unwind, it’s refreshing after having worn an N95 mask almost the entire night, the weather was mild and it was quiet and peaceful."

The caption read: “Even after a 12 hour night shift at the hospital last night, my wife still has the energy to shovel the driveway.

“God bless her and all our frontliners. Time to make her some breakfast.”

But the tweet didn't have the response he was expecting with users slamming him for not helping his wife.

One commented: "What was wrong with your hands? Its the utter audacity for me? This whole tweet is ashy and dingy."

Another one said: "Why is this woman expected to shovel a driveway in Canada after a 12 hour shift? Delete this.

One added: "Why didn't YOU do it? And if you legitimately cannot for some reason, why don't you pay someone to do it for you so she can come home to a clean driveway and go straight to bed? What is wrong with you?"
