This /c is getting pretty popular. It may be a good time to get a few active members on the mod team.

Results are still pouring in from ridings across the province, so the size of the majority is uncertain. In addition to Ford, NDP Leader Marit Stiles and Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner have won re-election, CBC News Projects.

The billboard at the centre of the firestorm features a picture of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posing with U.S. President Donald Trump, along with the words: "Tell Danielle! Let's join the USA!"

Following his passing in early 2023, community groups have worked to create a tribute to ‘Flying’ Phil St. Luke, recognizing his tireless love of Parksville and those who called the city home.

Fill out the questionnaire.

"During its first four weeks, the new United States presidential administration has taken our country on a roller-coaster ride. And we must be prepared for this to continue for the next four years. The historic bond between Canada and the United States has been strained in profound ways. Trust has been broken and will not easily be repaired."

I'm currently using the Flatpak ProtonVPN client, and every time I try to connect to or disconnect from one of the over 10,000 servers, there's an authentication prompt asking for the root password. The message is: “System policy prevents modification of network settings for all users”.

Polkit is a bit mind-bending, but after chasing many an out-of-date wild goose down a maze of distro rabbit holes I found a fairly simple solution on the Arch Wiki.

Add to the wheel group any users who should be allowed to make changes to network manager, then create a polkit rules file called
"10-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules" in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ and add the following:

/* Allow users in wheel group to modify NetworkManager without authentication */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" &&
        subject.isInGroup("wheel")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});

Reboot for the new rules to become effective and you should be done.

I'll leave this here for anyone searching for the same symptoms. Leave a comment if you have a better method to get polkit to shut up.

Edit: You don't have to use the wheel group, it can be any group that your vpn-using user is in. I had already added myself to the wheel group so I used that.

Mollie Cameron, who is both a captain with a local whale watching outfit and the president of the Wild Wise Society, which educates the public about human-wildlife interactions, says that while she's never seen the otter — dubbed Ollie — kill any river otters, she has seen it carry their lifeless bodies around for "multiple days."

I noticed this after my latest SaveOn order and was going to post pictures, but here's a whole article about it.

Not only is the jar smaller, but they have added more water - aqua-flation!
