Well quite often traffic court is heard by a commissioner (JP equivalent) and nt someone technically entitled to be called "Judge". Though there was a huge name change recently and I am not sure what happened in traffic court.
Masters are now "Application Judges" and called "Your Honor" (unlike before).
Former Provincial Court Judges are now "Justices" of the "Alberta Court of Justice" (but still called Your Honour), which confuses them with Court of King's Bench Justices (now just called Justice X, and not My Lord/Lady).
