Shopify CEO appears to endorse giving more votes to wealthy Canadians

July 28, 2026

The billionaire CEO of one of Canada's largest companies has come under fire for seeming to endorse stripping voting rights from some and giving more votes to the ultra wealthy. 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.
