Youtube should consider their engineers responsible for the software they write. Big companies these days are just bureaucracy tricks and politics. There's a small handful of real talent, but they're quickly moving to new startups.

Also, I'm Canadian as well, and almost everyone calls themselves "software engineer" these days. You just can't say P.eng. in your title. You could be forced to remove it from linkedin/etc if you're called out, but it rarely happens.

Your latter point is legally incorrect. The protected term in Canada is “engineer”. If someone calls themselves an engineer without a P.Eng, that’s an offence.

Thank you for the education. What is the consequence of an offence?

at least in Ontario, fines, starting at $ 25,000.
