Review

In this book, the last one that he published during his tenure at
Vancouver’s CKNW radio station, Rafe Mair continues the ranting and
raving for which he is best known. A lawyer, former MLA, and fanatical
fly-fisher, Mair has been one of British Columbia’s most-listened-to
radio personalities for more than 15 years. Whatever the topic, you can
be sure that Mair has an opinion on it.

Still Ranting is divided into five sections, each of which provides a
window into the various sides of the author’s personality and
interests. Discussing politics, the world in general, fishing, travel,
and the past, present, and future, this book engages, then persuades,
the reader in a thoroughly enjoyable way.

On topics ranging federal politics to media conglomerates, to
professional sports, and everything in between, Mair offers a
provocative and delightfully antagonistic commentary. Whether you like
it or not, Still Ranting will be in your face until you are able to
shore up the will to put it down.
