Canadian CVRT Scorpion purchase

[Perry Kitson]

I have recently read an article on Canada's aborted purchase of the British CVRT Scorpion that was to replace our Centurions in the early '70's. Has anyone ever seen or heard of the testing that was done in Canada?
I have a Canadian Forces Equipment Recognition Handbook that was published for the '71-'72 Command and Staff College course that has the Scorpion detailed along with the other armoured vehicles that Canada was using at the time. It is actually listed as a fire support vehicle.
Here is the link to the above mentioned article.
