France French and Canadian French both mostly stick to the same grammar & vocabulary, but have many variations and different spectrums of accents. It's somewhat similar to comparing the entirety of American English to the entirety of British or Scottish English, neither are "superior" in any way, and for the most part are the same academically, aside from the occasional vocabulary difference and the different variations of accents. Neither place has one singular, universal accent or set of vocabulary
"Regular french" doesn't really mean much

canadian french and France French are nearly identical in more formal contexts (aside from the accent) but the more casual you go on either side, the more they separate.

in the most casual register, which has slang and certain region-specific grammar, a France French speaker and a Canadian French speaker may not understand each other at all may have great difficulty understanding each other. Though generally, Canadian French speakers are probably more familiar with casual france French than vice versa.
