Does the government not have a responsibility to protect fair use of the commons by all people?

If you agree that the government has that responsibility, then the government needs to maintain its rule over the commons, which has clearly been lost in downtown Ottawa.

There have been numerous reports of assaults by demonstrators because the victims had the audacity to wear a mask while walking in the vicinity of the demonstration.
