I've heard this from every Acadian and Brayon in Grand Falls and (especially) Edmonston with whom I've spoken about this topic.
My francophone friends from Edmonston who worked in call centres in Moncton frequently tell me horror stories about their customers from Quebec, who say rude things like...'Oh, you should just speak English so I can understand you better.'
The separate francophone groups in Canada, I've found, are oddly critical of each other's dialects.
You, yourself, are seeming to be quite the French language critic. 'Proper' Acadian French is better than Quebec French, eh?
There are African immigrants living in Moncton who would disagree with you.
