		Jaffer spent an interminable six months in the political wilderness after becoming a national joke for his role in one of the dumbest stunts – at least of those that the public is aware of – in the history of Canadian federal politics.
		Jaffer was particularly popular – partly because of his youth, good looks and style, partly because people loved to party with him and partly because he was a Reformer and the only Muslim MP.
		Jaffer held high-profile critics roles which got him in front of the cameras, but his caucus colleagues were growing frustrated because he wasn’t doing the legwork needed to fully understand his portfolios.

	Rahim Jaffer
		Rahim Jaffer is the Conservative Party of Canada Member of Parliament for the Edmonton-Strathcona district of Alberta.
		He is probably best remembered for his gaffe of claiming to do a radio interview, which was actually done by an aide, Matthew Johnson, impersonating Jaffer, as Jaffer had been mistakenly booked for another political engagement at the same time as the interview.
		Jaffer subsequently apologized for this falsehood, and was suspended from his caucus position for several months.

		Conservative Party of Canada's Rahim Jaffer, 34, first elected from the province of Alberta to the Canadian Parliament in 1997, believes if his party could win a majority in the January 23 elections, it would reform the immigration system and mend relations with the powerful neighbor to the south.
		Jaffer, who was one of the ethnic faces that appeared on national TV standing just behind Harper in what analysts figured was the party's effort to appear multi-ethnic, has been a vocal parliamentarian since his first election back in 1993 when hardly any Indo-Canadian was in public office.
		Jaffer also railed against the Liberal Party's occasional confrontational stance with Washington, on issues like softwood lumber where the U.S. has levied high tariffs, and on national security as well as Ottawa's opposition to unilateral action in Iraq.

		jaffer - he may genuinely have been surprised at what you taught him because in my experience with him, he does a lot to convey the illusion of being a key player, but has little to back it up.
		Linda said near the end of her speech that Rahim Jaffer’s flyer on the “Clean Air Act” made her wonder if he was in the loop, given how inaccurate it was.
		I recall then that Jaffer claimed to be in touch with Edmonton-Strathcona, and yet he once again voted against equal marriage despite representing a progressive, tolerant riding.

	48018 - Edmonton-Strathcona
		Now for Jaffer himself, he is a conservative, this is Alberta, yes this is the most unsafe tory seat in Alberta but it was still won by a 5K margin over the Liberals and 7.5K over the NDP.
		Jaffer is a competent, intelligent MP who will certainly be in cabinet in the event of a Conservative victory.
		This is going to be a shock, Jaffer really didn't perform well and I know he has the advantage because he's a CPC, but if the Libs can convince the NDP to vote with them to kick out Jaffer it might happen.
