In case you weren’t aware of where Tobias (Tobi) Lutke’s views lay.
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.
American here, yeah trade wars never lead to anything good, but neither does laying down and taking it. I’m more of the mindset of I will absolutely fuck myself over just to spite you if you wrong me, so I am 100% for Canada’s response because what trump(read Dump) is trying to do is wrong and I am 100% against it.
Russia was upset Ukraine fought… It sucks what else a weaker country supposed to do? Take it?
Make another fake deal?
Too Many similarities and it is uncomfortable
It’s not just about spite or fighting. If we don’t tariff back, our firms get fucked by American tariffs, unemployment increases, our society pays for a part of those tariffs. Adding Canadian import tariffs transfers reciprocate some of this to the other side of the border, and we then can use the revenue to negate the social cost of the American tariffs. Otherwise we’d end up in part subsidizing them.
Yeah, stupid me, hitting first is the action actually leading to a good outcome. Duh!
Shopify can go toss a salad.
Tossify my fuckin butthole
No jelly or syrup for them
God damnit Tobi…
Replies to a challenge that he’s just looking out for his bottom line with this:
Shopify is unaffected by all this.
The Canadian small businesses that run on Shopify are the ones that are not so lucky. They are the bedrock of our economy providing 70% of all jobs. We all ought to fight for them.
I’m dumbfounded. He must think Canadians are so stupid they can’t see the contradiction in this statement.
I mean you literally have Trump supporters there, including your premier in Ontario so…
Sorry?
Canadian small businesses that are not simply resellers of US products, actually gain from tariffs on US competition. The US tariffs on Canada hurt them, but the retaliation directly helps them.
Basically speaking for PP here.
I mean, shopify’s entire business model is drop shipping overseas crap.
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
Oh man, a CEO thinking this is a bad idea? That’s all the endorsement I need!
Canadian oligarch siding with american oligarchy?
Hm
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%
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.
The Shopify CEO was sucking up to Trump and his regime so Tobi can seriously fuck off
Oh it’ll lead to something good
