General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[zanate]

That tank was designed to kill people, or protect the people inside so they can kill people, or whatever; so is the LAV III. I sense the latter is not “gauche” because it’s a weapon of war, but for some other reason. Why would the LAV III be any more or less tasteless than an actual tank? Just because one is a lot older? Many of the tanks on display as part of Canadian monuments weren’t older when they were put there.

Agreed. I'm not sure I see the objection. It's not uncommon to have old tanks and guns as monuments at cenotaphs, and this one is a part of our modern military's heritage.

Besides, the whole area is concrete and asphalt and covered with (unarmoured) vehicles anyway. What's really so objectionable about one more?
