...like the fact that the Belgians aren't French even though they do speak the language.

Well, actually there are 3 official languages in Belgium: Dutch, French & German, with English close to an unofficial 4th. As to the same French in Belgium and France, the Parisians would not agree, sorry to say. The Walloon "accent" is very strong in Liege. Brussels is a different story.
