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.
