Now imagine that with a cope cage and will it fit as it is or on a lowbed/railcar and go through most overpasses and tunnels in Canada?

Don't be so negative, which would you prefer mobility strategic and tactical. Or jobs ....

Well, when you put it that way…

In what ways would this be worse?

Wheeled self-propelled Howitzer

It seems a much more stable plaform to mes.

That would be the more honest take on using a LAV but its pretty clear tracked and armored is required for the CS role

Good lord, pictures don't do it justice. It's huge.

I'm sure it will work fine if you stick to only rolling it out on bone dry days like in that demonstration. And of course if it's completely confined to roads it'll be easier for mid-range drones to hunt down.

Im already seeing a roll over accident within 12 months in a training area. That turret is top heavy to the extreme

And I've also read the rest of the crew can't ride in it and the solution is to just have them follow along in another vehicle.

Not having even a gib is a massive safety liability.
