	Radio Broadcaster Rafe Mair Fired
		Rafe: noun, incessant public verbal barrage; verb, attack in the morning hours from the British Columbia airwaves (Gordon Campbell was Rafed today.
		Mair himself was no slouch in the salary department, earning more than $300,000 a year by most reports.
		Mair says she complained to management about his salty language, his requests for coffee (with chocolate sprinkles), and that he accused her of "acting like a little girl with her knickers in a knot." If that's a true measure of the complaints, Corus has a case of selective sensitivity.

		Rafe Mair, a former lawyer and cabinet minister, is well known as a broadcaster and writer on public affairs.

		Mair has been honoured with numerous awards for his broadcasting and journalism, including BC Broadcast Performer of the Year (BCAB) in 1993, the prestigious Michener award for courageous journalism in 1995, and the Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.

	Mair cut from rare cloth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mair cuts to the chase in this collection of essays, covering his personal and political lives as well as his passions -- refusing to sugar-coat his life or use the book as a chance to build a persona, as many bio-writers do.
		Rants, Raves & Recollections is a good title --this book reveals the complexity of Mair's personality, and proves once again that he will never please all of the people, all of the time in political discourse or matters of the spirit.
		Mair will never be a poster-boy for evangelicals, although he shares many of their beliefs.

	In the Northwest: The radio voice of Rafe Mair is that of a crusader
		Mair took on a set of proposed changes to Canada's Constitution, the Charlottetown Accord, that were put to a public vote.
		Mair has just published "Rafe: A Memoir" (Harbour Publishing), a book that romps through past battles but soberly discusses its author's bouts with depression and his flawed record as a thrice-wed husband.
		Mair was point man in negotiating a deal with Seattle in which the city agreed not to raise Ross Dam -- which would have flooded eight miles of the Skagit River in British Columbia -- in exchange for an amount of power equal to the high dam's output.

	Michael Klassen \| The Pros and Cons of Hot Talk
		Mair steps up on his soapbox, and using all the vocal inflection he's borrowed from his hero Winston Churchill, he editorializes on any number of subjects.
		I forgive Mair's conflicts of interest - his enthusiasm for Bill Bennett, and political reform movements are unabashed - because he often speaks about subjects that are of interest to me. I also recognize that Mair has a great deal of political influence in these parts.
		Mair cannot be categorized with ultra-conservative kooks like Doug Collins, who makes a living out of publishing racial slander in the North Shore News.

		Mair laughs when he reveals the intro tune will be Gene Autry singing "I'm Back in the Saddle Again." Mair says he doesn't care if that leaves him open to people saying later, "And then he fell flat on his ass again."

		Rafe Mair is a former lawyer, former politician, and former cabinet minister in the Social Credit government of Bill Bennett.

	babble: Rafe Mair...a progressive???
		posted 13 May 2005 08:06 PM I remember when Rafe Mair was fired by CKNW in 2003, because it was in the period between Joy Macphail stepping down as NDP leader and the first candidate coming forward to replace her.
		I'd have to agree with those that say that Mair's (relatively new) emphasis on environmental issues (and more progressive positioning vis a vis the BC Liberals the new "free enterprise coalition") does seem to be genuine.
		When Mair was in Bill Bennett's Cabinet, there was no aquaculture industry and the wild stocks were much healthier than they have been in the last ten years.

	titusonenine » Blog Archive » Rafe Mair: Today’s Sermon against Dogma
		Mair says the Jesus never spoke about homosexuality, but he ignores yesterday’s Gospel selection that includes the word “porneia” as something that defiles a man. Porneia is sexual sin and includes homosexuality.
		Rafe is perhaps somewhat long in the tooth to qualify as a young seeker — unlike some of our enthusiastic young revisionist commenters here — but there’s no question that this piece is egregiously “the huffing and puffing of a presumptuous soul.” Regrettably that presumptuous soul has become also incredibly complacent…
		I was stunned to see a column by Rafe Mair cited at titusonenine, for I know that man well (by reputation only).

	counterweights - canadian politics and news - CANADIAN THANKSGIVING 2006 .. What does the eclectic identity of this ...
		Mair he ought to know that growing numbers of diverse Central Canadians are almost as fed up with almost the same things he’s fed up with too.
		Mair’s abrupt contempt for a federal "system where less than 40% of voters thus only 25% of eligible voters get 100% of the power." No one who has authentic concerns about what is happening to democracy in Canada today can continue to be complacent about this kind of increasingly appalling statistic.
		Mair should stop telling us how tired he is of Canada, and start saying instead what he thinks the very next practical changes in current Canadian institutions should be.

		Rafe Mair, the increasingly enviro-holic commentator, has lost his last high-profile pulpit from which he can rail for the millionth time against fish farms, play footsie with enviro outlaw Paul Watson, and regale his listeners on why he's voting for the Green Party.
		Mair was fired from ratings leader CKNW in 2003 after 19 years.
		Mair still writes the odd opinion piece for community newspapers and does a thrice-weekly one-minute editorial for a public-affairs show on a small Fraser Valley TV station, OMNI.10.

		Mair: Ralph Sultan is my guest, and he has got an apology to do - a frank political apology, and we'll put it on tape.
		Rafe, if that's how you characterize it, because for the younger generation, they should encourage the oldsters to keep going, because if they don't, they've got to support them.
		You know, they love their tenure system, but the flip side is: "We'll keep that spot warm for them until 65, and then we'll be rid of that old guy." Well, if you have to ask them to leave on grounds of performance, you've got to measure that performance.

		The anecdotes flow (though I'm sorry he didn't relate the one about a brand-new female producer whose first act was to demand that Rafe's boss vacate his office for Rafe).
		Mair often jabs newspapers for running old news.
