Huh, would have been more impressed though if it was, I dunno, more tech...

Think of the taser on that!

I was expecting an actual tank, not an APC. Heck, it'd be cool seeing an IFV it we could start blasting away at the homes of drug dealers.

Nah! Just have the RCMP buy a slightly used German Tiger tank (Mark II of course) and just drive the thing straight through the house.

It's about time they had something to deal with the gang problem. Needs a bigger gun!

Def an upgrade... think the Edmonton Police service has one too. Would have been more badass if they kept the original turret on it though (looks like an old cougar, so the 76mm).

100kph though? Must have upgaded the engine. Those things used to be lucky to go 75.

Interesting point to note, not only did they keep the amphibious capability, it looks like they enhanced it. though the things only go 10kph in the water, so it's not like they'll be chasing speedboats down.

Gives them time to run away. Rather just blow up the house and give the neighbors a show.

Are they going to ship this tank around Canada when "needed" or just park it outside HQ and use it for photo ops?

"Ya....we bad!"

I think it's a de-nutted Griz as opposed to a Cougar. Still, if that's what they call a tank then they'd shit of they saw a Leo II.

This is what the RCMP needs

Would make more sense considering the Griz was the old ISC. Look for the turret ring mount. The Griz had a much smaller one. And I'd love to see a Leo II pop some caps up a gangsta's ass.

And no these wont be shipped all over Canada. as said on the video, they are for use in Vancouver only.

Dummy me. It is was a Cougar.

I just bothered to click the video and it's pretty plain that it isn't a Griz.
