Second Cup Canada has cut ties with its franchisee at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital after the franchisee was spotted allegedly making hateful gestures during an anti-Israel protest last week.

“Last night, our franchisee at the Jewish General Hospital was filmed making hateful remarks and gestures,” Second Cup said in a statement published on social media platform X on Nov. 23.
