Interesting point. As i told already Joris and for all the world to see, i know
very little Fench. But i think it would be fair to assume that Canadian French
has developed differently from the French French (does that make sense? I hope
not!) after the French gave up Canada.
If this is the case, French French will still count as "proper French".

I know the cat (is it a cat?) is called Ralf. Dunno what the guy's called.
