Shopify CEO promises to fight the request, calling the action ‘low-key overreach.’ Expert says data includes ‘everything the CRA needs to audit these businesses.’

Except this is shopify's customer's data and not their own so the CRA should have to obtain a warrant before they can do that. If they're allowed have free access to customer data just because it's tax related then there's nothing stopping law enforcement agencies to bypass the court system and obtaining any customer data on a massive scale, since they can always make up bogus reasons like "fighting crimes" or "monitor terrorist activities".
