Having spent quite a bit of time in Canada and the French West Indies over the past 4 years, I'd have to say its a mixed bag intellectually. Francoism is definitely alive and well, but they are not hindered by a piss poor public education system and have independent thought. You have to also remember that France has been subjected to the worst of the woke immigration policies. There is definite backlash occurring in all French corners of the world with the exception on Montreal.
