This rumour also comes straight from a Warrant Officer that has been told he's going to B Squadron
Oh, Canada has purchased the Leo A6's? Sweet. Makes sense the Germans aren't selling the....I think they're up to A7 now to other countries, but the Leo 2A6 is a good machine.

Tanker (tangk'er)n. 1. A dusty, crusty, grease-covered, dirty, sweaty, bright eyed, fuzzy faced, haircut-needing, beer-drinking, underrated, over-worked, underpaid, oversexed, little s%#* who can take a Tank and do more battlefield damage in ten minutes than a grunt squad can do all day.
