Thanks J.P.
If at some point there is a more clear boundary maybe someone could
update the wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_Brunswick to
give the rest of us more clear guidance.

Or I suppose one could guess by looking at the existing tags there. (I would assume Fredericton is English area?) If we have a list then could update the NB wiki page. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_Brunswick
