Pre-deployment training focuses on "real" scenarios

Nothing can prepare you for an IED on the roadside or a hell storm of protesters with AK's or an ambush from a multitude of RPG's. The Taliban and Al Qaeda are resurfacing again and they have lots of new assets they want to use on the Canadians especially because apparently they hate us a lot for helping the USA. They have a hand full of stingers and they might have some modern German and soviet era shoulder fired anti-tank systems & they're going after Canadian Armour before they leave.
