I make a canadian baseball league and it's infuriating the number of players born from ontario or western canada that have french names. FIX this OOTP, please.
I understand your point but strictly speaking it's not true. There are small but significant Francophone populations in Manitoba especially, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Almost everybody I know in Haileybury or New Liskeard in Northern ON is French descent.

I agree that you shouldn't have the same % francophone names in the west. Kq76 has a possible work around but losing the country part may not be worth it.
