Rafe Mair, a British Columbia icon
Rafe Mair, a British Columbia icon, former provincial cabinet minister, and outspoken broadcaster, continues to tell it like it is as he approaches 80 years of age. At the very least, Rafe calls it the way he sees it. You don’t have to agree with him, but you do have to respect him and others who stand up, get involved and contribute to the democratic dialogue. He has always been there to be counted, which is more than I can say about most people (maybe even 85%).
To those who sit mightily behind their anonymous keyboards and take cynical swipes at people such as Rafe, I say: turn on the lights in your smelly basement, step away from the keyboard, find the door and stop hiding behind some faceless username. Stand up and be counted.
As for getting older, I can only hope for the levels of piss and vinegar mostly contained in the uncontrollable and undeniable, Rafe Mair.
