TIL we have Leopard tanks.
IMHO, we should be sending them the LAVs that were built for the Saudis. We should not be sending weapons systems to despotic regimes who condone murdering journalists in their embassies. >

I agree with the sentiment but they need heavy armor, the LAV's are not going to cut it for the armor and caliber they use. They are aiming for a massive push >

The LAVs Canada is building for the Saudis are not just the IFV variant but also include the tank destroyer variant that have the 105mm cannon which can also fire missiles that should easily penetrate Russian armour from 5km away. >

wonder if they are any good. we are giving them strykers that have the 105 on it, i guess the army didn't like them very much. >

The Strykers are just essentially LAV 6s, even built in Canada. And yea, the USA bought a bunch, Canada almost followed through on a similar purchase, but the USA ended up hating them because the tank destroyers couldn't carry any infantry and were unbalanced and cramped. 
However, I don't think the Ukrainians will complain be given something that has the potential to knock out a Russian MBT.  Especially given that the newer ceramic armour on the LAV 6 is resistant to 30mm AP rounds that the Russian BTRs or BMPs could potentially use.
