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.

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?
