It’s Shopify’s Tobi Lutke.

A reminder that he’s behind Build Canada and Build Toronto, and that Build Toronto’s Eric Lombardi is running for the Ontario Librral Party leadership as we speak.

    If anything the American “situation” is proof of too little democracy. Their system is archaic, incredibly difficult to reform, with ridiculously tiny winning coalitions compared to the selectorate, with winner-take-all cosmic level elections, and with all sorts of anti-democratic “safeguards” (remove the quotes if you’re a rich white guy) baked in right from the start of their republic.

      Yeah, but it’s very much a ‘there but for the grace of God go I’ situation. There’s really nothing preventing any other democracy from ending up the same way, given enough time and unchecked Sino-Russo propaganda.

        I can think of something. The call by the way is coming from inside the house… From the billionaire class.
