Default Holy Roller

Perhaps now is the time to change the 'playbook' and provide this iconic vehicle that is loved so much with the proper indoor display it so rightly deserves.

Some brainless retard spraying a stupid message on a monument tank or artifact is expected. Interesting read in the comments of the "Karens" posting their faux outrage at monuments like this. Boy oh boy, has the gene pool in Canada ever been weakened is my take.

I guess the effort, perseverance and skill to make such weapons that defeated an evil regime should be forgotten?

Sure, let's remove the evidence and lessons (not to mention sacrifice) of previous wars and they will never ever NEVER EVER happen again.

...oh wait...just maybe it could be the exact opposite.

Default Holy Roller out for restoration.

LONDON, ONT. -- A tank is moving through the streets of London today.

The famous Holy Roller, one of two Canadian Sherman tanks to survive World War II, is moving to Fanshawe College to be restored.

The move is part of a planned restoration for the memorial which will take roughly a year at the college.
