It did, but the other way around. French people had a lot of influence in the last centuries from their proximity with other European countries, while Québec was secluded and resisted the english assimilation, that's why the accent varies a lot. So french canadians speak a french somewhat closer to the language spoken centuries ago than modern French people do.
Compared to american and traditional english, there aren't as many words that are written differently, as french is more "organised" as a language, so there generally isn't a need for a distinction. Most differences are a matter of pronunciation. In the end, it's all the same language, even if a few words are sometimes used differently.
Most people actually pronounce it closer to "pâ", which is the way the french settlers pronounced it. The loss of the sound "â" in France happened in the last century. Québec kept a few sounds that are now mostly lost in Europe. Also, some regions of France sometimes have the same pronunciation as Québec for these words. Look here : https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/pas#Prononciation , the "Hauts-de-France" recording is pretty much the same as in Québec. Not too surprising considering that most french settlers that went to America were from the north of France.
An other example of that, is the word "pâte" (pasta or paste, \pɑt\). Most french people pronounce it exactly the same way as "patte" (paw, \pat\). They lost the "ability" to pronounce the accent on the "â". But everyone still write it with the accent even if French people don't pronounce it, because that's the "old" way of saying it.

This implies that Quebec/ Canadian French has deviated from traditional French, like how American English deviates from traditional English

Well they also say ne . . .po lmao so they definitely had their own deviation too, just not towards anglicization
"ne . . .po"? What do you mean?
Like if something doesn't work they say ça marche po, they pronounce pas as po
