As I noted in the last the
Dutch were the missing link and caused some confusion when I submitted the LEO 2A4M CAN in 2010 and in this thread. So for final clarification from the ref below and as posted in the last this backs up Dons final decision to keep the LEO 2A6M CAN.
"Update: With the end of the CF combat mission in Afghanistan, these borrowed Leopard 2A6Ms are being returned to the Bundeswehr. Note that some of the ex-Netherlands Leopards were 2A6s with L55 barrels and will be brought up to full Leopard 2A6M CAN standards"

Canada has not deployed the LEO's since the first 2A4M CAN tanks came home. I believe if memory serves they are using (or were since.) using leased CV 9020 units. That being said the LEO 2A4M CAN was
highly successful in it's deployment to Afganistan and I believe the best tank Canada has operated with to this point.
John thank you but, I suspect there are some that might use a different four letter word!?!
So for them and everyone else have a great weekend!!
