randomnessFrom a Canada Day post on The Truth About Cars, no less:
"To the French, the Francophone Canadian accent is akin to Cleetus the Slack-Jawed Yokel attempting a fist-bump with Her Royal Majesty Elizabeth II. Parisians especially can be insufferably snooty about it..."
The article is about the Manic GT, a long forgotten Quebec car of 1969-70, described as "somewhere between a Lotus Europa and a Saab Sonnet, with a mixture of TVR and Triumph thrown in. Essentially, take all the least reliable cars ever made, mix together in a large bucket and serve with cheese curds and gravy."

I'm told by a Canadian with experience in selling PBXs that if you sell a PBX in Quebec, they want the voicemail prompts in fr.ca (Canadian French). But if you don't have that, they prefer en.ca (Canadian English) over fr.fr (French French).
