"When I saw it, I freaked out. I was livid," one plus-sized fan of the club told the paper.

"It's discrimination pure and simple and discrimination is wrong," Jeanette DePatie, spokeswoman for the Association for Size Diversity and Health told CBS News. "This isn't tolerated for most other disenfranchised groups anymore. And it's sad that this is still tolerated and in some circles approved of."

The offending line has been taken down from their Facebook page. But the club's message still seems clear.

The club is the "flagship for all things fabulous in Montreal's high-end party scene," the current page reads. "Attracting a bevy of models, actors and young financiers every weekend to experience Montreal's most extravagant and exclusive events for the mature and distinguished."
