In retrospect, based off of friends of mine who grew up speaking their family language at home but nowhere else, yeah they probably don't come across as native speakers either.
As long as it's enough to get him through the door in Quebec though, what more does he need?  |
Sounding like a native francophone isn't necessarily the main factor in making it in Quebec.
Jack Layton didn't sound like a native French speaker in any way and he led the NDP to an Orange Wave in Quebec.
