I have never heard the negative use of the word banlieue (suburb) or banlieusard(e) (suburbanite) that you mentioned and have never heard it used in English. Perhaps it is a European thing? I suppose it could be used this way in other parts of Canada as there is a tremendous variety in the French language across the country.
