Description: "11/01/2000: In 2001, Rhéal Mathieu, a member of Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who in 1967 was sentenced to nine years in prison for terrorist activities including murder, was convicted of firebombing three Second Cup locations in Montreal. Mathieu targeted them because of the company's use of its incorporated English name ""Second Cup."" After the media coverage of the firebombings, many Second Cup locations in Quebec changed their signs to Les cafés Second Cup."
