Let me tell you a bit about how this is gonna end.
By way of background, I'm a mathematician with a specialization in applied mathematics of social interactions, such as game theory. I'm what you would probably describe as glowie adjacent. I hope I've got the lingo correct.

The problem Trudeau has is that he has few, narrowly circumscribed bases of power that are enough to get elected, but not enough to govern against the will of the people. Those are very different things.

So that leaves him with very serious limits on what he can accomplish in this situation. The truckers are smart. They did not all converge on Ottawa, but rather organized themselves locally and create many small spots of trouble. In quantitative studies of insurgency, this is the 'ink spot' model: local, decentralized warfare that relies on local support.

Quite simply put, this is for the truckers to lose. If they can outlast the government, which may mean as little as another week, they will break it. Trudeau needs to win every interaction to stay in power. All the truckers have to do is "not lose". A draw is always in their favor, and the situation in most places right now is a draw at best: the Mounties huff and puff, but have not been able to deal with or disperse a single protest. That's not unsurprising, by the way. Truckers use a method originally devised for naval warfare called blockshipping: sinking ships to block a strategic narrows or harbor entrance. There is literally no economical way of dealing with this tactic. Truckers know this. Their worst-case scenario, losing their jobs and their trucks by just walking away, STILL imposes a massive cost on the government. When the worst case scenario is that both you and your opponent lose, you have everything to gain.

There is no dominant strategy here for Trudeau. There's no clear way to victory anymore for him. It's all about how badly he loses now.

>Truckers and other protesters demonstrating on the bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan have until 7 pm local time to leave or face being arrested and having their vehicles seized, the Ontario Superior Court said on Friday.

>"The Biden administration’s latest Department of Energy hire is a “queer activist” who brags about his “kink” of leading other gay men who are pretending to be dogs around on leashes before having sex with them."

Q predicted this.

>“The Biden administration is running a clandestine, covert, middle-of-the-night, special ops mission using the same tradecraft the military does in operations against foreign enemies,” said Larry Keefe, a senior policy adviser to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. “We don’t know what’s going on because the states are not designed to mount intelligence-gathering operations against our own government.”

>The endorsement of masking by medical bodies and public health authorities worldwide, Miller shows, entailed the abandonment of a longstanding view that masks were a useless and even harmful intervention. Over the previous decades, numerous randomised controlled trials had assessed the efficacy of masks in controlling the spread of respiratory viruses like influenza, and pandemic simulations had evaluated their potential.

>A document published by the World Health Organisation in 2019 framed the results of these studies in no uncertain terms: “there was no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza”.

>Harvard professor, CNN analyst and former Obama admin undersecretary of Homeland Security Juliette Kayyem has called for violence and vandalism against Freedom Convoy protesters who have amassed on the bridge that connects Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario.

>"The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada," tweeted Kayyem. "Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks."

>Rogan made the remarks in the form of a joke during a surprise stand-up set in Austin, Texas, his adopted home, on Tuesday. Rogan performed his set then stuck around for a Q&A session with the audience afterward.

>The North Carolina elections board declared this week that it has the power to bar Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) from running for office due to his actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It insists that it can enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment and declared that he is an insurrectionist.
