Help13 names for a heist team!
Apologies, I know this is a bit of a big ask, BUT!
I've started a script for a school project, where the basic plot is WWIII except the world has become a nuclear wasteland.
Every nuclear nation signed a treaty agreeing to dismantle all of their weaponry, however one country refused to sign and another revealed they've been building nukes in secret. Now those two nations (Canada and France) are the leading powers in a nuclear war.
A group of Canadian citizens living in an abandoned subway station form a team to steal and dismantle the remaining nuclear weaponry on earth.
Now the names!
Any 13 names, male or female, any origin, all that's certain is that they're Canadian citizens.
Thanks to anyone who can help! :)

If you want some uniquely Canadian names, I've only seen the Francophone names of Réal, Réjean, and Desneiges (f) used here in Canada. Since in this world Canada and France are working together on nukes, Francophone names would make sense.
Some French surnames from my area include Desjarlais, Chapdelaine, Levesque, Riel, and Roy. So you could use those.
You could also include some Inuk names, like Elisapie or Tiriaq.
Of course any sort of name could be considered Canadian, because we have people from all sorts of backgrounds here.

I doubt Canada and France would be the only ones who refused to sign or were secretly still researching nuclear weapons. Currently North Korea is still rattling a saber with nuclear arms threats, and Iran seems to want to be in talks about nukes every couple of years or so. India, Israel, Pakistan and South Sudan did not sign the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty.
If this Canadian group successfully dismantles the Canadian weapons, then France will become the only one with nukes. This will make France the most powerful country without any other nation to provide a counter balance. That would create a worse situation than if the Canadian group had done nothing. There is no way that a group of foreign nationals living in an abandoned subway station are going to successfully infiltrate your superpower France. Maybe the Canadians would join with a French guerilla group, who have ties to a high ranking French official who secretly sympathizes with their goals? Maybe the two groups can plan the nuclear disarmament to take place simultaneously in both countries. Also, your heist team will have to murder all the nuclear scientists in both countries, or more nukes will be built.
Canadians plus their code names:
Maya "Maverick"
Zachary "Saffron"
Chloe "Indigo"
Owen "Karma"
Miles "River"
Penelope "Harmony"
Luca "Blaze"
Isabelle "Maple"
Names for French contacts:
Victoire
Raphaël
Léonie
Jules
Camille
Marceau

Thanks for the names! This is a work of fiction so it's not going to be entirely true to life, but I do want some kind of accuracy. Most of the points you made, I've worked around and come up with solutions for (e.g. countries such as Iran coming close to destruction and signing the treaty as a last resort).
Some points though, I've not thought about yet. This will definitely be my next step, thanks for the input!

I'd like a birth year to give suggestions. If it's in the near future I'd start with the popularity lists for the year the characters are born in:

https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/canada/2023
The main events take place in 2028, the ages of the characters aren't confirmed yet :)
Thanks for the suggestions! I have several ideas in mind already, I was just curious to see what the people on this site would come up with when given the same task :)
