The language spoken here in Quebec is not more "pure" than the one spoken in France. It just has not changed in the same way it did in France. We use some English words when speaking technical. For example, i would never said an "octet" for a byte or an UCT (Unite centrale de traitement) for a CPU when French would use them. The same way the French use "week-end" and we use "fin de semaine". There is still lots of regionalism here, especially in rural area. In my experience, the difference in "sonority" betwen region in Quebec is less than in France but YMMV.
