    You know that New Brunswick and Ontario have a bunch of francophone right ?

    Yes: 30.3% of New Brunswickers are French-speaking [1.1.1] (34.0% bilingual [1.1.3]), which is 0.6% of the Canadian population [3], and 3.8% of Ontarians are French-speaking [1.1.2] (10.8% bilingual [1.1.4]), which is 1.3% of the total Canadian population [4].
