Why would you get to decide which French is the good French? Formal register Quebec French is totally fine. Of course, on the street you can hear pretty deformed French, but guess what: in France too. That's just how language registers work.

I’m actually from Belgium, which is in a very similar situation as Quebec: (a) heavy accent which the French love to make fun of and (b) where language wars have been raging forever and taken to ridiculous levels. This mentality of wanting to keep a culture ‘pure’ by trying to control how and where language is used, is a losing battle. Some Quebecers, just like purist francophone Belgians have taken this language obsession to irrational levels, and it has knock-on effects in other aspects of daily-life. I wish Quebecers would just lighten-up about it..
