FUN: Project Grizzly
Welcome to the Right Foot, a segment featured every morning on CJAD 800's Andrew Carter Morning Show to help you start your day with a smile and get you off on, well, the right foot.
It's 2022, and a 1996 documentary featuring a Canadian inventor is one of the most shared videos online. Why? How? You may be asking yourself. Well, for starters it's just a clip of a guy in a Hulk-Buster styled suit getting the $h*! beat out of him. The man is Troy James Hurtubise and the suit is his prototype of a grizzly-proof suit.
