Players with nationalities you didnt expect based on their name

I think Quebec is distinct enough. 400 years is enough. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Should the Swedes, Danes and Norweigans still refer to themselves as the Norse? Those three only branched off form each other a hundred years or two before New-France was colonized. What about the Brits vs the Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Norse? What about the Scots? Aren't they just the Picts? All these changes happened not too long before New-France was colonized.

Europe was ethnically very very different in 1600. Lots of ethnicities appeared and disappeared since then.

Right, but what you’re describing is regional ethnicity as it pertains to North America (Quebecois, First Nations, etc.).

However, unlike Sweden, Denmark, etc., we are comprised of gigantic land masses with gigantic amounts of differing immigrant cultures. 400 years is not enough time to form a collective ethnicity in such a circumstance.

But there's nothing wrong with it. I'm of the opinion that diversity and non-homogenous populations are strengths.

These statistics likely come from white Canadians who view themselves as espousing ‘true’ Canadian cultural traits. The same phenomenon is occurring here in the States.

However, the fact remains that, as young nations of immigrants, both the US and Canada are still far too diverse to have an all-encompassing national ethnicity.
Perhaps this will come to fruition in a thousand years or so, but right now we are too diverse tribally, racially, religiously, linguistically and culturally for Canadian or American to be considered ethnic groups.

There is canadien true ethnicities. The indigenous population

Sabres new boy Anders Bjork has the most swedish sounding name even though the surename lost the umlaut gets even weirder when you se his full name Anderson Bjork the american equivalent would be something like Smith Brown
