Well, that makes it even more puzzling.


So, you'd rather have a Marc-André Nicholson and an Andrew Thibodeau from Edmonton than a Marc-André Thibodeau and an Andrew Nicholson? And that's infuriating?

I understand it's not ideal. I, too, would like to see naming patterns making more sense. But, that said, doesn't it make more sense to have French and English be separated so that first names and last names correspond more often? To me, anyway, it does.

Also, there is no English Canadian file - there's only a "Canadian" file, and a "French Canadian" file. It's not perfect, but it's closer to what you want than complete segregation, which I think is a pretty good idea (don't quote me out of context here ).
