In case you weren’t aware of where Tobias (Tobi) Lutke’s views lay.
So… Are we supposed to just bend over and take it?
The fuck?
I can’t say I’m surprised though. Some corpo advocating for something that will help them profit? What a surprise.
The profits must flow
The line goes up
Shopify can go toss a salad.
No jelly or syrup for them
Tossify my fuckin butthole
Canadian oligarch siding with american oligarchy?
Hm
PSA: Remember, oligarchs are not bulletproof.
True but in America it is the school kids that always end up getting the bullets :/
Except on December 4th 2024. There is hope it was not a one-off.
Reminder and PSA: it’s never been about race, or about American versus Canadian, or about poor vs middle class - it’s always ever been the Uber rich governing class vs the 99%
Breaking news! Shopify’s CEO can suck my taint.
Basically speaking for PP here.
These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source.”
They are 100% “crazy demands” in that a fake national emergency is declared in order to rip up trade agreements. The amounts of drugs from Canada are extremely small, and more illegal immigrants enter Canada from US rather than other way around. If Fentanyl is a problem, the US can do a lot more to curb US production, and hospital use. Another approach would be to simply eliminate heroin, since all deaths occur as a result of mistaken contamination/substitute of heroin, and fentanyl is “cheaper per dose” as reason for hospital use. Making opiate pills “highly available” would also remove fear/events of overdoses.
A fake national emergency, with other pretexts for tariffs. “small trade imbalance, and opportunity to extort Canada by destroying its economy” makes it a declaration of war. That Shopify would have more sales if Canada just surrendered, is an overly selfish perspective to say out loud, and in my opinion, treason for both him, and media that doesn’t shout it down as treason, instead of being CIA funded mind control of Canada as a US colony.
The “crazy demands” disqualifies the US from being a trusted military partner. Canada needs to stop adopting US enemies as its own, and instead realize that the US is its enemy, and it needs new friends that are powerful enough to stand up to US.
I mean, shopify’s entire business model is drop shipping overseas crap.
Ok so fuck Shopify too then?
Something like that.
I wasn’t aware of this guy at all. ty. We should assume he’ll be bitching about our banking systems next (Trump’s next nonsense goalpost). Looking at his wiki page - absolutely sickening he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross for his tech work in Canada.
tl;dr - A German-born white billionaire douchebag techbro doesn’t approve of Canada defending it’s sovereignty and has no idea what the country has already done or is doing about the drug killing people addicted to painkillers, but has decided to loudly support whatever Trump says he wants, and to repeat the version of reality Trump claims.
It gets worse if you look into the their execs further. One in particular stands out…

Scrolling Lütke’s Twitter feed, you’re likely to find a bunch of Shopify boosterism mixed with an embrace of far right-wing political ideas.
In recent weeks, he’s called for Canada Post to be gutted, positioned himself as “anti unions” that threaten his customers’ livelihoods, and opposed the right to strike.
He has also praised Trump’s threat to enact 25 per cent tariffs on Canada, stating that the U.S. is “within its rights” to do so. He has retweeted posts calling for social support programs to be cut because “Canada spends billions on illegals, asylum and refugees.” And he’s generally spread right-wing misinformation about the state of Canada and the world.

This is so bitterly disappointing, can one billionaire not turn into a complete fucktard please :(
Can’t become a billionaire without being a complete fucktard first.
And citytv news didn’t think any of that was relevant I guess… jfc.
Aaaand down another rabbit hole we go. ty.
Oh it’ll lead to something good
I made an online purchase today and specifically did not use the Shop Pay option. Fuck Shopify. Fucking traitors.
Fuck you shittify. Just go out of business already and screw over the last of your staff so the c-suite can buy another island. Greedy cunts.
I’m curious what the counts would be like if you added up the articles that quote a CEO, a labor leader, and both.
God damnit Tobi…
