Government accountability: what does it mean?

[myata]

In Ontario, 7-day average Covid mortality has been close to or above 50 for over a week. With: masking; vaccination mandates and yet another  lockdown, number 4. All time highs are reached, again.

In Sweden (comparable population), the same factor has been a half of Ontario's or less: statistics. There wasn't a lockdown. There was not mandatory masking, ever. The current levels are way below the all time highs.

Are the extraordinary restrictions and limitations of citizens rights working to reduce the impact of the epidemics or manage and control the population? If they are necessary and working, how can it be proven? Can we delay any longer the demands and requirement of the proof?

And if it cannot be proven: are these just arbitrary; unnecessary unjustified and unaccountable limitations and restrictions of citizens freedoms?

We need to have answers to these questions and soon because countries that allow arbitrary and unjustified limitations of citizens freedoms aren't usually called democracies. Yes we have a choice to make here. Looks like it's come very close to the line.
