Talking point: McKean has been donating to CAMH for years, but the hospital finally revealed his identity alongside an announcement of his $100-million donation, which will help pay for two new buildings. The former diplomat came into wealth after helping Lütke launch Shopify, a company that is now worth more than $100 billion. McKean told The Globe and Mail he was inspired to donate after watching loved ones struggle with mental illnesses. Shopify money is behind the health-focused Thistledown Foundation, which is run by Fiona McKean—Bruce’s daughter and Lütke’s wife—and the Northpine Foundation, co-founded by early Shopify investor John Phillips.
