CLOSER LOOK: True patriot suds: This new bar specializes in Canadian pride
Tonight on 'Closer Look': Bob and Doug McKenzie would be proud of a newly opened restaurant in Toronto, where every last detail pays homage to the true north strong and free.
In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: Something a bit lighter (and not just the beer).
At a time when our very sovereignty is under threat, a new bar and restaurant in Toronto is helping to remind customers why Canada is worth defending.
The Grizzly Bar is the kind of place that would make Bob and Doug McKenzie proud, complete with nostalgic Canadian photographs, posters and other memorabilia.
“There’s so much negativity out there and it’s easy to doom scroll," said co-owner Jessica Langer. "But we wanted this to be a place where you could go and be happy to be Canadian.”
