And? Again, who cares? How land is used is entirely by up to the property owner. If somebody thinks it's a better business to farm electrons with PVs than grow wheat, it's really none of your business.
Also, since we're a big country, an area the size of GTA, spread across the country in dozen of solar farms is not really that bothersome at all.
Did you complain as much for all the places flooded to build hydro? That was probably far more damaging.

What dumbass nonsense is this? Health restrictions during a pandemic have zero to do with what is built on a given on a property.

It's really unfortunate that this ignorant bullshit is still making the rounds. You should look up how many birds are killed by cats, powerplants and refineries. Let alone climate change. Wind turbines are the least of their concerns.
