WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️Local mom and pop business Shopify plans to split its stock 10 to one. The stock split is part of a plan that will allow pop, CEO Tobi Lutke, to increase his voting power from 33 per cent to 40 per cent but new limits mean he can't transfer the new shares, nor keep them if he ceases to be CEO. Investors often like share splits because – sometimes, over time – each share returns to the original value. Do not read the ottawan for investing advice. [CBC] ▪️Chuck and Camille will be visiting Ottawa in May. The Heir to the Canadian Throne and his wife will visit us, the Northwest Territories, and Newfoundland as part of the the recognition of Queen Elizabeth's 70 years as our Sovereign.
