Second Cup closes cafés at Montreal hospital after owner's hateful remarks at protest.

Second Cup, a Canadian coffee chain, has closed two of its cafés at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital and terminated the franchise agreement after the owner was filmed making hateful remarks and gestures at a protest. The company, which has "zero tolerance for hate speech," will continue to pay the affected staff until the locations reopen under new management. This move comes amid rising tensions in Montreal following recent protests.
