Learning French in Europe I got told my accent was Parisian when in Montreal(I think they meant European, not ‘good’. but I’ll take it over English lol).

I’m curious about how Canadian French / European French view each others language, and how that compares to American / British English

It's not so much our accent as it is the jargon in my opinion. The Quebec french speakers can use a lot jargon that may seem or come off a little hillbillyish to European french speakers.
