it's referred to as joual - it's a mixture of old french from the pioneers and various bits of anglicized words and phrases, all jammed together and spoken very nasally. It's like the zillions of varying italian dialects in Italy - the difference being that in Italy they teach "standard italian" in school (so everyone speaks both). In Quebec it's the purity of the joual that's the issue....you can travel to Paris speaking high school french and be understood faster than you can in Quebec.
