Raquel Dancho describes her journey from a self-described 'sacrificial lamb candidate' to the federal Conservative Party's main voice on one of the country's most heated topics: firearms and crime.
Conservative Public Safety critic Raquel Dancho rises during Question Period, Wednesday, November 23, 2022 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldShe remembers her parents saying she was less than a year old when she started stringing them together, speaking in short sentences.
Enter Dancho, who had been elected two years earlier, at 29 years old, to represent the suburban Winnipeg riding of Kildonan-St. Paul. "You're never going to make everybody happy with your opinions," she said. "But I really try to give pause and consider what the other side thinks of this, and why they think that way, and speak to something that builds a bridge between the two. It's a lot of thought."
Dancho has led the Conservatives' charge against the Liberals' Bill C-21, which seeks to ban handguns. It became a political mess for Trudeau last fall when Liberal MPs proposed an amendment that would have entrenched a definition of banned weapons that critics including First Nations chiefs warned would include popular hunting rifles. The change was withdrawn.
Dancho said that when she speaks, she wants firearms owners to feel respected -- but in a policy-focused way that will earn the trust of non-gun owners in the suburbs, and "women in particular."
