Montreal mayoral candidate calls 80% of Americans ‘big, obese, imbecilic, ignorant, uncultured dummies’

Staunch Quebec independentiste Michel Brule announced Thursday his long-shot candidacy for the November election.
The book publisher, writer, and ex-bar owner says he doesn’t expect English-speaking Montrealers to vote for him — and says he isn’t working to get their support, anyway.
