Product Description
Product Description
Rafe Mair has a distinctive voice and strong opinions. He knows where he stands on media conglomerates, national unity and Jean Chretien. In this collection, you will find commentary on big issues of today's turbulent world along with issues society should be more concerned about. What does the genome project mean to us? Why does Statistics Canada need to know how many bathrooms you have and how does it share that with industry? Odes on fly-fishing, the joys of London and the pleasures of books reveal the private side of one of Canada's favourite media personalities.
