I think that's basically the problem. Yes, of course there are French Canadians all across Canada, but there are a heck of a lot more French Canadians in Quebec per capita than anywhere else and the further away you get the less there are. I'm from Ottawa originally (Vancouver now) and I can tell you that my recollection of Ottawa (it's very close to Quebec) was that there were more French than English or at least it was very very close. That may not have been the truth (I was young and didn't know French so I didn't understand a lot of people), but that's how I saw it at the time. And from what I've heard, they're fairly common in the maritimes, but still less. In contrast, in Vancouver I find it pretty rare to meet a French Canadian. Yeah, you meet one every once in a blue moon, but it's predominantly English and Asian Canadians out here.

I'd personally like to see it where we could tailor it to user-defined regions as we're just not that evenly spread of a nation. I don't know for sure, but it's my guess that it would be like seeing a lot of black players in OOTP born in states like Utah, Nebraska and Alaska. It just doesn't fit how you see the world. Sure, the odd Francophone should be from BC, but it shouldn't be at the same frequency as nationally.
