As I said earlier, posting names may be going a bit too far, but posting position financials for each Government position is perfectly OK.

No. That is failing to appreciate that government is its own living organization.
I own shares in TD Bank. The bank is ultimately responsible to its shareholders. The shareholders elect a Board and officers are elected to implement strategic plans. If enough shareholders objected, a plan can be changed. I do not get to log onto TD's website and see how much the teller at the branch makes, even though I am a shareholder.
Same application for government. The government is accountable to the legislature (in theory) and the members of the leg are accountable to the electorate.
I see no value in this invasion of privacy. If Calgary employers were eager for some top quality talent they would be hitting up certain ministries and positions with aggressive offers in the New Year.
