Did I say engineer? I meant enginer…… 👀
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A judge has ordered a Vancouver Island candidate for the People’s Party of Canada in the last federal election to stop calling himself an engineer.
was alerted to those claims during the election campaign, launched an investigation and then made multiple demands that Hilderman stop calling himself an engineer, according to the judgment.
Hilderman told CBC that he has now scrubbed his online profiles to be in compliance with the court judgment, but described the regulations surrounding the word “engineer” as absurd.
But he apparently changed his mind, and two weeks later he told the association that he didn’t believe he was describing himself in a way that suggested he was a professional engineer.
“The mere mention of my educational background in the context of a political campaign is not contrary to the Professional Governance Act,” he said in the second email.
In his decision, Brongers writes that Hilderman has clearly broken the rules and, along with issuing the injunction, ordered him to pay costs.
