Actually, in a technical sense we have not been permitted to use the
Wikimedia Canada name at all. Therefore, I agree with this position.

Currently, Wikimedia Canada doesn't exist. There's no official spokesperson
for the organization, or board of trustees, so we're technically all on the
same level. By that point, if anyone speaks as Wikimedia Canada, and say
something stupid, is as if it's the official opinion or statement of
Wikimedia Canada itself.
(I'm a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee, but
despite the title, when I speak to the press, I speak as a random volunteer
that happens to do something that most volunteers don't do, not as a rep of
Wikimedia.)
If you speak to the press, speak for yourself, as Andrew has done.
Once we get Wikimedia Canada up and running, we can actively court the
media with our own press releases about content agreements with museums and
archives, reviews and contributions to articles and other content by local
professional organizations, whatever kind of projects we have.

I did it under my personal title.

Per interview,
How do we Wikipedian in Canada handles interview request? Is it under the
name of Wikimedia Canada or related titles, or under personal title?
