#cdnpoli We got a new set of Canadian millionaire influencers! Featuring such great people as the CEO of Shopify (residential school mass graves denier and Trump supporter), and all these other CEOs. https://www.buildcanada.com

The Canadian Tech Bros truly believe this. It's the first paragraph of their latest memo.
"In 1967 Canada introduced a points-based immigration system. It was the first genuinely meritocratic immigration system ever implemented. It didn’t care about a newcomer's ethnicity or religion but only looked at whether they would be an asset to Canada."

This is, of course, complete bullshit. Founder-itis "meritocracy" abound.
