Quebeckers can be a bit condescending about it, considering it old-fashioned and too influenced by English. There's a charming Franco Ontarian comic, Paidge Beaulieu, who is known for her (exagerated) Franco Ontarian accent:

At least I thought it was exagerated until recently, when I heard a Franco Ontarian woman on Ottawa cable TV speaking French with an accent that was indeed a bit reminiscent of Paidge Beaulieu!
Even with my limited French skills, Beaulieu is a riot!
