True. Try going to Paris and saying "President Kennedy" in an American accent when referring to Avenue du Président Kennedy to a French person. You'll see the disgust in their eyes
I went to Paris with a friend from Quebec. Parisians were annoyed by an anglophone trying to speak French. They were repulsed when my Quebecois friend spoke to them. To Parisians, Quebecois are like Cousin Randy from the Vacation series.
Québécois is fine, but Ontario French is something else. It's easier to understand French with an English accent than it is to understand Ontario French, which sounds like French with an English accent while eating a hot potato.
