I wouldn't mind seeing them brought back. However, it is unlikely in the current political climate. The Canadian military is, IMO, long overdue for restoration of some of its pre-Chretien era funding AND a decent overhaul. More money alone won't fix things, and it doesn't seem to be forthcoming anyways. There's too many desk officers and not enough troops.
An elite mobile unit that can be quickly deployed is a good thing - we need that. Calling it the Canadian Airborne again isn't a good idea because of the (warranted) negative images surrounding that name.
