Quebecois Slang by Street Talk Savvy
This is the North American version of French spoken in Canada. It is comes across as Franglais & borrows heavily from North American English. The accent also sounds very heavily like the North American English accent.

The easiest way to distinguish a Quebecois from a French person are the swearwords used in Quebec namely Osti, or Tabarnak
To it’s full extent, you might hear ; Osti de Tabarnak de Sacrament, de Calice de Ciboire de Christ de Marde
