I tried looking for lists but didn't find any.

The Work Number is US-specific and where your employers input your salary data for future employers to see. You can opt out here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/.

Why would we be sued? It's definitely not illegal here in Canada to discuss your employment details.

It’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.

On what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.

And it wouldn't matter if they did. Such contracts are not legal in the US. In fact, employers can be fined simply for requesting an employee sign a contract that restricts their right to discuss salary.
