IMO, it's statisitically unlikely. You're in Canada, right? Ok, there are 30 million people in Canada. What percentage of them know anything about Aikido? Given that the best guestimate is that there are 1.5 million Aikido pracitioners
worldwide, they're probably spread pretty thin in Canada's metro areas. Same probably applies "south of the border." There are ~250 million Americans, but not a lot of Aikido people. In fact, my home town of Cortland, NY doesn't have any Aikido dojos -- I have to drive to Ithaca to train! Sure there are plenty of people who "did it years ago," but if they don't maintane what skill they had, they use it. Again, no threat.
So you probably don't have to worry about it because Aikido people are just too damn few and far between to make it worth worrying about.
