Rafe Mair was a Canadian politician who served in the government of British Columbia. Elected as a member of the Social Credit Party in 1975, he served as a cabinet minister in the government of Premier Bill Bennett under a variety of portfolios including health and education.

During the patriation of the Constitution of Canada he was BC's chief delegate on constitutional matters.

In 1981 he left government and has since served as a conservative radio talk show host in Vancouver. Despite high ratings, he was cancelled by CKNW in 2003, and was subsequently hired at 600 AM , a "golden oldies" station to start a morning talk show.

Rafe is an avid fisherman and he has become an outspoken critic of salmon farming in BC. This often puts him at odds with former political colleagues and makes him allies with former political enemies such as the NDP.

He has also authored several books on Canadian politics, including his memoirs. He also frequently writes columns for many different Vancouver Newspapers.

An interview with Mair about his memoir, Rafe: A Memoir, is available here: http://www.thecommentary.ca/ontheline/20041025a.html.

His website, www.rafeonline.com includes archives of most of his editorial writing.
