Second CupSecond Cup is a large Canadian-owned chain of cafs, the largest specialty coffee retailer in Canada. Founded in 1975, the company recently joined with Cara Operations Limited. There are close to 400 Second Cups across Canada. In 2001, Rhal Mathieu, a member of Front de Libration du Qubec (FLQ) who in 1967 was sentenced to 9 years in prison for terrorist activities, was convicted of the attempted firebombing of three Second Cup coffee shops in Montreal, Quebec. Mathieu targeted them because of the company's use of its incorporated English name "Second Cup". Mathieu was sentenced to one month in jail. After the media coverage of the firebombings, Second Cups in Quebec changed their signs to "Les cafs Second Cup". External Links
