Why the confusing photograph?

Re: Mask bylaw expands to include apartments and condos, Aug. 27, 2020

The decision by Ottawa city council to expand mandatory mask requiremen­ts in apartment and condo shared spaces is a wise one. With the pandemic far from over and colder weather approachin­g, the enhanced risk of transmissi­on is obvious.

Why then did the Citizen confuse the message by including a photo of a handful of “anti-mask” protesters?

Their ignorance and wilful disregard for public safety does not deserve the attention you gave them.
