Used to be that I was flattered when people told me I didn't sound French. I thought it meant that I had a good American accent. Somebody from work found the YouTube video from the South Park episode when they went to Canada and, crisse, did they get it wrong. Just look up "South Park French Canada" in the YouTube search box and you'll find it.
The kids talk to a mime, an artiste, and a hockey player about wine. The hockey player is alright. I even played hockey as a kid, but what really got me was that everyone in the video sounds like they've come straight from Pair-ee. Apparently, I could be wrong about my accent. I don't sound like what they think a native French person would sound like, but that doesn't mean I sound good.
But South Park did get on thing right! It is true that there's no Canada like French Canada.
