Only some are exceptionally bad. Have been watching some not-from-France French-language television programming. The latest is a
which uses (purported?) names of farmers and McD's (self-claimed) support.for local farmers. The farmer's accent in one of those ads was excruciating. Another was interviewing Francophones in non-predominantly French parts of Ontario. They found this dude with a French name who operates a ferry in an Ontario marina. Imagine French (gramatically fluent and correct pronunciation as far as I can tell) spoken by a (Canadian) good ol' boy.
