Brickbat: A Rose By Any Other Name

A judge in British Columbia has ordered former political candidate David Hilderman to stop referring to himself as an engineer. Hilderman, who has an university degree in engineering and works in the electronics and computer industry, described himself as an engineer in campaign materials. Engineer is a protected title in Canada, and the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. filed a complaint against Hilderman because he is not a licensed engineer.

David Hilderman needs to start referring to himself ass an enginEEer... Or perhaps ass a "fake-engineer-in-the-eyes-of-the-Canuckistanistanistanistan-Government-Almighty"!

Do they also ban "Doctor" Seuss now for similar reasons?

[SQRLSY One]

Credential-Restricted by Idiots & Nincompoops in Government = CRINGengineer! Or perhaps simply a "fengineer", a fake-engineer? "See? I am NOT calling myself an engineer!!!"

Just another ?blessing? of Commie-Education.

Licenses are magic.

[Chumby]

Hilderman had one idea whereas the government of BC had other designs.

No government permission slip? That makes him illegal. Good thing he was caught before he poisoned the lifeblood of Canada.
