With 5G it's more the ground based equipment that presents a problem. But it's not so bad in Canada as the regulator has more say. In the US, it was a big deal, especially when the FAA Advisory Directive related to 5G first came out. AT&T and Verizon seem like they had more say in ground based antenna placement and power. Boeing has gone to great lengths to show that interference is minimal or non-existent in a lot of the airports listed in the AD.

Bottom line is Canada was ahead of the curve and created protection zones around Canadian runways to limit antenna transmission power to a certain spec. Furthermore, they have exclusion zones that prohibit antenna installations within a specific area around the runway. They didn't do this in the US. Risk is very much mitigated due to these actions.
