No more than units like the Queen's Dragoons, etc.
Name notwithstanding, the PPRCLI is a fine unit, which has trained with our Rangers on more than one occasion. As I recall, it was the parent outfit of the Canadian snipers who served with distinction in Afghanistan.

Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Farquhar was instrumental in assisting Hamilton Gault in founding the regiment.
Colonel Farquhar, Military Secretary to Canada's Governor General, the Duke of Connaught, asked the Duke of Connaught for permission to name the regiment after his daughter, Princess Patricia of Connaught.
She was pleased to accept this honor and thus the Princess Pats were established.

Trust me, name aside, you don't want to be on the bad side of these boys. It's like "The Boy Named Sue", very, very tough
