I'm French Canadian and that sounds insane.

In France, there's a soft tendency to use the plural you ("vous") a lot more because of the more rigid French class system. In Quebec it's seen as a snobby thing to do due to the more working ass culture.

That said, in neither country would anyone ever get a monetary fine for using one over the other. That's crazytown

I'm French French, we just think you and Walloons are rednecks with no education, see you ;)
I'm married to a frog, and they really do believe the quebecois are their poor, dumb, country cousins.
We had both a French exchange student and Quebecois exchange student in high school, he would frequently do a french impersonation of something akin to the Beverly Hillbillies and make the Quebecois girl cry. Being a town of rednecks ourselves everyone thought it was wonderful.
what is "ass culture"?
