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'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 :(
