Trying to create a new francophone province would be a nightmare. There's no real contiguous region that's majoritarily French-speaking.

Language most spoken at home (2006) -- clockwise:

Edmundston (CA): 95.2% French
Campbellton (CA): 52.6% French, 43.1% English
Bathurst (CA): 62% French, 35.9% English
Miramichi (CA): 94.8% English, 3.5% French
Moncton (CMA): 69.2% English, 29% French
Saint John (CMA): 96.3% English, 1.7% French
Fredericton (CA): 92.9% English, 4% French

The North and East are "mostly" francophone, but Campbellton, Bathurst and Moncton are too bilingual to clearly assign them to one side or the other. Even if Campbellton, Bathurst and Dieppe (cut off from Moncton) went to 'Acadia', then Miramichi would become an anglophone enclave.

Not to mention that tiny 'Acadia' would probably be an economic disaster unless it joined Québec.

But at least then the cbc.ca-grade anglophones who like to blame duality for their miserable lives would finally be happy again. They would awake everyday to a province where oil spouts from the ground and where gold lies in every stream, just like it used to be before Louis Robichaud.
