The donor lists are already public, thanks to Alberta’s public disclosure laws, and have also been used in previous boycott campaigns. The website tells says: “send them (the donors) a message with your wallet by boycotting their services.”

The Alberta Federation of Labour, which includes 25 different labour groups, including various public service unions, the firefighters’ union and several unions catering to tradespeople, is the highest-profile group to call for a boycott against UCP-aligned businesses.
