This should also be a lesson for the authorities, in Canada AND worldwide. STOP this very ambiguous marking/naming of taxiways. Would it not have been simpler to rename 13e something else. There are way too many confusing taxiways, airways and rules around the world. People are being set up to make mistakes. The authorities should take some of the blame here.
