(Don't say it too loud), but the differences btw French spoken in France and French spoken in Quebec are greater than between British and American.
For ex., an average French unaware of some forms of "Quebecois" will be mostly unable to understand an "average" Quebecois unaware of the slowness and the 'break-you-damn-accent' that a French needs to understand quebecois (and I do not speak about dialects, which can lead to some... dramatical misunderstanding. Ex. : in (french) slang : "les gosses" : the kids. in (quebecois) slang : "les gosses" : the nuts (not the one that squirrel usually eats. My sentence definitely sounds weird. )).
