This is the John Rustad that said that carbon dioxide emissions were not contributing to climate change and 'we need to look at patients as revenue generators' and wants to invoke the notwithstanding clause to lock up people on mental health grounds. That's the Rustad that is getting a "thumbs-up" from business leaders.

I think you're under playing how stupid John Rustad is.
"Carbon dioxide is an essential component of life on this planet. It is not a pollution and that sort of misinformation out there is just ridiculous. It's ridiculous to do that, it doesn't serve anybody well," said Rustad.

Omg what an idiot. In a similar vein, we and the creatures of our earth needs light and sound to survive but that doesn't mean light and noise pollution aren't real.
I really hope we can make a compressive list that shows the business leaders who support the clown car
Thank you so much; one thing I've learned in my 40+ years is that name and shame absolutely makes companies 180. Call them out for the fascist cowards they are, and let people see it.
I will have to dig through a lot of articles in making it lol.
Have you heard of the Goods Unite Us app. It is also a good resource to see which kind of values the us companies that operate in Canada support however it is us-centric.

Why don't you crowd source the work?
I'm not sure that Lemmy is the best option, but you could create a new community here and connect it to Mastodon, Matrix, Freidica etc. and ask people to contribute the information you want.
On the other hand, you could just download a list of members from your local Chamber of Commerce and that will be 90% accurate.
Yeah it's shockingly hard to see donations of corporations. Good luck, I don't envy you :(
Another article with the same byline:
'Standing for the average person': Rustad lays out B.C. Conservative policy
"We have one objective and one objective only: that is to replace David Eby and his radical government policies," Rustad. "I will certainly be reaching out to (B.C. United) to bring down...the NDP government as early as possible."
He forgot to mention that these radical NDP policies actually helped your average British Columbian...
Socialism for me and not for thee. Fascism in a bucket.
Sorry, but I prefer those radical government policies that were considered mainstream 40 years ago.
