Farmland conversion and landfill sites

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.
