Very OT - Question for French Canadians

I need a small bit of help from our Canadian participants. What is the proper term used for referring to the dialect of French spoken in the province of Quecbec? I'm thinking maybe 'Quibecois French' or 'Quibecian French' or 'Quibecker French'. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

Arnie,

The first one. Now I have Q for you: I'm Canadian, but I got my B.A. at a US college. Do I qualify as a closet American?

I believe the correct term would be "Quebecois french".
