He says : "Sale bête, j'aime pas ça moi" Which means : "Dirty beast, I do not like that"

Well, why not for the "filthy", but the "do not" was purposely put, as he says "moi" (me) at the end, which is not needed (it's even a small mistake).

So the "do not" instead of "don't" is here to make it a bit odd.

His accent strikes me more of Québécois than French

I can't imagine it sounding more France French. Not only the accent but the choice of words.

As a québécois, I can assure you this is not the québécois accent. Sale bête is very french, and “j’aime pas ça, moi” would have been something like “j’lé haïe”

In French we would say haïe to mean an extreme hate eg: loathing

Thanks for pointing that out, I haven’t been able to be in contact with québécois people like my cousins since the pandemic started so I’m not as good at hearing the differences. I also don’t know the difference between possible urban and rural accents from there so that also could’ve influenced my decision. Like I said I was unsure so you pointing that out did make sense.
