Québec French is a lot of things, but I wouldn't call it formal. Heck, one of the core formal things about French (vouvoiement) barely gets used here in Canada, compared to France/Belgium/Switzerland where it's omnipresent.
Regarding the traditional aspects, I'd say it preserves a certain tradition, but it's also full of innovations. It's far from medieval! I wouldn't say French-speakers in Quebec speak like kings and queens of the 1700s.
It is very different to European or African French, that's for sure!
