Shopify CEO appears to endorse giving more votes to wealthy Canadians

July 28, 2026

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke replied positively to a post on X suggesting a system of "weighted voting proportional to the amount of income tax you pay," from no votes for people who don't pay income tax to five votes for anyone paying $500,000 or more.
