I just read an article which stated .. at least here in Canada
.. the 'name/title' .. nutritionist .. is NOT legal.. and
thusly can be used by anyone?

Do you mean "registered dietitician" or "nutritionist?"

I think by inference he means not nutritionist, but
"naturopath."

Here's an article which discusses four types of certification:
RD, CNS, CCN, and CN. All require post graduate courses.
