The U.S. subsidiaries of Brookfield, BMO and AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) plus 13 other companies headquartered in Canada directed donations to American politicians who voted not to certify the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

A new analysis of U.S. Federal Elections Commission data between 2021 and 2025 revealed 16 Canada-based companies collectively funded 87 of the 147 congresspeople or senators who objected to certifying election results in Arizona, Pennsylvania, or both, in turn refusing to confirm Joe Biden as president in January 2021.

The analysis and report was prepared by New York-based Donations and Democracy. The organization tracks foreign-headquartered companies that contributed to the campaigns of any of the 147 politicians who cast doubt on the election, even after protesters stormed the Capitol to halt Biden’s certification.
