How Much Authority Should the Government Have? Enforcement of Moral Standards

It's controversial.  No getting around it.  To what extent should the government's control over my ability to make a decision be limited?  Vaccine Mandates? Vaccine enforcement?  This is an important discussion that includes the pandemic but is more general, to what extent should the government have the authority to enact regulations that limit my freedoms?  Libertarian, good citizen, compliant sheep?  How do you define yourself in relation to the government?  I discuss how laws are enacted and fought in Canada, bring the discussion to the true definition of mandatory, talk about collective moral imperatives and who defines them and enforces them, followed by a discussion on whether it is right to assign penalties to individuals who are making a legal decision.  If it is legally permissible in the nation to not accept a vaccine, why is it legal to assign a penalty for that decision?  It is a conversation that needs to happen, that we have to muster the courage to begin.
