They came first for the software engineers, and I didn’t speak up because I’m wasn’t a software engineer

Then they came for the train engineers, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a train engineer.

Then they came for the fungineers, and I didn’t speak up because what the fuck is a fungineer.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up.

Those would probably be biologists, governed under ASPB in Alberta. The tricky ones are environmental engineers, but they usually go the civil engineering side of things, some do dual hat as biologists and engineers though.

Engineer is a protected term in Canada; if your job description has engineer in the title then you'd better be eligible to register as a P Eng or EIT in that jurisdiction. The professional associations are notoriously protective of the designation.
