Just throwing up your hands and letting the corporations retain that power is the best way of ensuring that things never change.
Because the farmers are not fighting against a new factory, they are fighting against the government shadily going around without public consultation to get this land for a corporation.
The solution is not expropriation to enrich a corporation, but the provincial government helping the factory maker find an appropriate location, of which there are no doubt multiple spots in the province, comprised of willing sellers.
