owin22 Oklahoma residents on Sunday mourned the death of former Democratic U.S. Sen. Fred Harris , a trailblazer in progressive politics in the state who ran an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1976. Harris died on Saturday at 94. Democratic Party members across Oklahoma remembered Harris for his commitment to economic and social justice during the 1960s — a period of historical turbulence. Harris chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1969 to 1970 and helped unify the party after its tumultuous national convention in 1968 when protesters and police clashed in Chicago. “Fred Harris showed us what is possible when we lead with both heart and principle. He worked to ensure everyone had a voice and a seat at the table,” said Alicia Andrews, chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. Harris appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this year as a guest speaker for the Oklahoma delegation, where he reflected on progress and unity. "Standing alongside him in Chicago this summer was a reminder of how his legacy continues to inspire,” Andrews said. Kalyn Free, a member of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma and the DNC, said that there is no one else in public service whom she admired more than the former senator. “He was a friend, a mentor, a hero and my True North. Oklahoma and America have lost a powerful advocate and voice,” Free said in a statement. “His work for Indian Country will always be remembered.” “Senator Harris truly was an Oklahoma treasure and was ahead of his time in so many ways,” said Jeff Berrong, whose grandfather served in the state Senate with Harris. “He never forgot where he came from and he always remained focused on building a society that would provide equality of opportunity for all.” Harris served eight years in the state Senate before he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served another eight years before his 1976 presidential campaign. State party leaders commemorated his work on the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, or the Kerner Commission, to investigate the 1960s riots. Harris was the last surviving member of the commission. Shortly after his presidential campaign, Harris left politics and moved to New Mexico and became a political science professor at the University of New Mexico. —- Lathan is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Eby said premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would meet this week to discuss "our strategic approach" to the U.S. president-elect's plan to impose the tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports immediately after his inauguration on Jan. 20 unless action is taken to stem the cross-border flow of migrants and illegal drugs. The B.C. premier made the comments Tuesday in a speech to the annual convention of the B.C. Federation of Labour in Vancouver. WATCH | Trump threatens 25% tariffs on Canada Trump threatens 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico on 1st day in office 21 hours ago Duration 2:24 In a post on his Truth Social platform, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico until both countries stop what he called the ‘invasion’ of undocumented migrants and drugs crossing the U.S. border. "Obviously, this will be devastating to workers on both sides of the border," he said. "Both in the U.S. and in Canada, the impact on families will be profoundly significant." Canada and the U.S. have long been top trading partners on imports and exports, and the strength of this relationship puts Canada in a solid position when it comes to Trump's tariff threat, Eby said. "We have more in common with Americans than what separates us," he said. "We buy more American stuff than France, than China and Japan and the United Kingdom combined. So, we are negotiating, I believe, from a position of strength." Eby acknowledged improvements could be made on Canada's border, especially when it comes to policing contraband and illegal drugs. Donald Trump threatens 25% tariff on products from Canada, Mexico "We've called repeatedly, for example, for port police to ensure what comes into B.C. is not contraband, is not illicit drugs or precursor chemicals," he said. "These are things that we can do to make life better here in B.C., as well as respond to concerns that have been raised south of the border." Trump issued a statement on social media on Monday saying Canada and Mexico had the power to solve their border issues, which he called a "long-simmering problem." B.C. business leader calls for 'Team Canada approach' B.C. business organizations called on the provincial and federal governments to immediately address Trump's tariff plan, which they said will hurt businesses. The proposal would have "significant consequences" for B.C. businesses of all sizes and would harm communities and workers across the province, said Fiona Famulak, the president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and its chief executive officer. How seriously should we take Trump's tariff threat, and how could it affect Canadians? The B.C. Lumber Trade Council said the proposed tariff would hurt U.S. consumers and homebuyers by driving up the cost of building materials from Canada, while the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade said the U.S. was B.C.'s most important trading partner, accounting for 54 per cent of the province's commodity exports in 2023. "It is imperative that we engage constructively with our U.S. counterparts to advance our collective interests," said Bridgitte Anderson, board of trade president and CEO. Loonie falls to lowest level since 2020 after Trump issues tariff threat "This should act as a wake-up call to all levels of government that a new Team Canada approach is required." She said some of B.C.'s top exports to the U.S. are natural gas, softwood lumber, agricultural products and minerals and metals. Opposition B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad called for the immediate recall of the B.C. Legislature to provide funding to secure borders to stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants. B.C. Minister of Finance Brenda Bailey says the U.S. will always be a major trade partner but notes there is growing demand for commodities in Asia. (Mike McArthur/CBC) B.C. finance minister highlights trade opportunities in Asia Brenda Bailey, B.C.'s new minister of finance, said potential tariffs are concerning, but opportunities exist to improve relations with major trade partners such as Japan and South Korea. "The interest in British Columbia commodities in Asia is very, very high," Bailey told CBC's On the Coast . Ford says Trump's tariff threat 'like a family member stabbing you in the heart' "The United States will always remain important, but British Columbia is uniquely well-placed to really, really enhance our trade relationships elsewhere as well." B.C. government data says the province's exports to the U.S. in the first half of 2024 were worth $16.9 billion, down 1.1 per cent compared to the same period last year.New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari criticised Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly copying BJP's strategies, particularly in providing financial aid to women . Tiwari remarked that Kejriwal has been in power for a decade but has only now started offering significant benefits to women, as his government approaches the end of its tenure. "Arvind Kejriwal is imitating what the BJP has already been doing in its states, and that too when his government is nearing its end. He has been in power for the last 10 years and has not even given Rs 10 to any woman. If he truly wanted to, he could have introduced Rs 2,100 earlier. Why is he announcing it now, just before leaving?" Tiwari said. Earlier today, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced that registration for the 'Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana' and 'SanjeevYojana' will commence across the national capital starting tomorrow. Kejriwal, the former Chief Minister of Delhi, stated that under the Mahila Samman Yojana, women living in Delhi will receive Rs 2,100 per month, with registration beginning tomorrow.

We will come to you for the registration process. Teams have been formed across Delhi, and during a press conference, we will assist women in registering for the scheme and provide them with cards," Kejriwal explained. He added that registration for the Sanjeevani Yojana, which will cover the medical treatment costs for senior citizens above the age of 60, will also begin tomorrow. "We had announced the Sanjeevani Yojana, under which the Delhi government will bear the cost of medical treatment for senior citizens aged 60 and above at private or government hospitals," Kejriwal said. He mentioned that these two schemes are expected to benefit 35 to 40 lakh women and around 15 lakh elderly individuals. "Our teams will go door-to-door to register people for the Sanjeevani Yojana and Mahila Samman Yojana. To avail of these schemes, it is necessary to have a Delhi voter ID card. You can also visit the website to check whether your vote has been cancelled," the AAP convenor added. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Rucker's 27 lead Army past UTSA 78-75New Delhi: Intensifying its campaign ahead of the assembly polls, Delhi BJP will organise a Parivartan Yatra in the city to connect with the electorate. The party has formed a 9-member committee under the chairmanship of senior BJP functionary Satish Upadhyay to plan the Yatra. BJP will discuss the "misgovernance" of AAP govt over the last 10 years with the people of Delhi during the Yatra. The assembly polls in the capital are due in Feb next year. The two other major political parties in the capital – the ruling AAP and Congress – have already launched significant political campaigns to engage with the electorate. The upcoming assembly polls are crucial for all parties. While AAP will try to win a third successive election, BJP, which won just one election in 1993 after the reconstitution of Delhi assembly, is hoping to turn the wheel of fortune. Maharashtra Jharkhand Maharashtra Alliance View i Party View Seats: 288 Results Majority: 145 BJP+ 229 MVA 47 OTH 12 Results : 288 / 288 BJP+ WON Jharkhand Alliance View i Party View Seats: 81 Results Majority: 41 INDIA 56 NDA 24 OTH 1 Results : 81 / 81 INDIA WON Source: PValue Congress, which governed the capital for three consecutive terms between 1998 and 2013 but later lost three consecutive polls, including the 2015 and 2020 elections when it failed to win a single seat, is trying to regain its political footing. A senior BJP functionary said the Parivartan Yatra will be an attempt to connect with the electorate and discuss the involvement of AAP govt and its functionaries in various "scams" and its "failure" to govern Delhi. "The yatra was announced after the approval of the central leadership, and its schedule will be shared by Sachdeva in due course," a functionary said. To streamline the party's election campaign, Sachdeva also nominated the state unit's general secretary Vishnu Mittal as a member of Delhi assembly election coordination committee. Sachdeva also appointed former Delhi govt minister Kailash Gahlot, who joined BJP earlier this week, as a member of the election coordination committee as well as the election manifesto committee. Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav alleged that BJP was a partner in "destroying" the national capital, and like AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Sachdeva was also not in a position to face people and answer their inconvenient questions.
