Dear Mr. Wilson:
We at the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation are writing to bring to your attention what appears to us to be a gross violation of The Beer Store’s Core Value of Respect on the part of one of your retail store owners, Derek Favretto.
It has come to our attention that Mr. Favretto has made certain statements on social media on his X account @favretto that should cause you to re-evaluate the continuing relationship between him and The Beer Store.
Denial of Sexual Assaults in the October 7, 2023 Atrocities
Abusive comments towards Israelis and “Zionists”
https://x.com/Favretto/status/1941271167966511215 https://x.com/Favretto/status/1968634005978259725
We trust that you will act swiftly and decisively to uphold The Beer Store’s Core Values.
Best regards,
R. Michael Teper
President
Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation
