You might have to dig some more for other agencies but it's not a secret that they use social media posts to gather information on people that are posting publically.
Thanks Scooter9, I did the search you suggested and found some reports but nothing that would give me an idea of the scope of this. From what I understood if cra have suspicions of tax evasion then they can start an investigation and that includes social media. I'm wondering if this is really a mass surveillance operation or if it is only really a small number of people who are being watched.

Can you suggest some other agencies that would be surveilling people?

Not really, you'd have to do some digging on your own to find the agencies and articles, but it's out there.

But you're right, it probably starts with some kind of suspicion that something's going on for them to start monitoring you. But I think if you're getting any kind of benefits from the government that you'd be on the radar.
