Public figure makes public comments using a private service about a topic that is clearly controversial.
Gets upset when members of the public use that same private service to make public comments back to them.
Yup, totally logical.

He donated to a cause he supported, and people chose to become investigators cross referencing names and occupations to try and "out" him and many other people. Just like the officers of the OPS & OPP the media wanted to scrutinize for the donations they made.
Who knows, Trudeau might freeze his accounts now.
This is just a guess, but the donation lists of GoFundMe and GoSendFunds (or whatever that other one is) were hacked and released. Someone could easily have just known Statsny owns Walnuts LLC without digging into each one.
Or could be people are just going through each one to show what businesses and owners donated to it. Which...I dunno, I don't think it's an issue. If people are upset and you lose more business than you gain then that's on you.
This stuff happens all the time for businesses on a smaller scale and more individual actions. Business takes an action and some people get mad at it. Toronto Zoo is continuing the vaccination passport and people are calling for them to be cancelled. Collective Arts is the same thing (as they are on federal land so they have to) and they are getting backlash.
It's not out of the ordinary businesses get 'consequences' (right or wrong) based on actions they take. LCBO is losing a ton of money on inventory with not selling Russian Vodka. Consequence for a stance they are taking.
I don't get why people are getting so heated on this. He knew the protest was illegal on some level on Feb2nd (when he donated) and at that time he saw the wrong flags being waved. He chose not to withdrawal the donation (which you can), now he's getting questioned over it. If he loses business, sponsors, work opportunities I think that's on him. It's not like these level of consequences aren't new for corporations. You saw it with BLM and with Donald Trumps re-election donation list.
Gotta be careful what you do when you donate to any cause, let alone polarizing causes.

Nope.
I guess I should cancel my donation to help Ukraine in fear that my bank account will be froze or Russian spies are coming to assassinate me.
