Getting data from foreign hosted service providers is already very difficult. Generally they won’t play ball with production orders for anything beyond basic subscriber data. To get info as evidence for a criminal investigating, we frequently have to go through the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty process, which can easily take upwards of a year to see results. If there’s imminent risk of harm we can generally use other approaches, but for normal criminal investigations without an imminent threat to life or public safety, the situation already sucks. So, we shouldn’t let that fear shy us away from data sovereignty policy and legislation.Making the case to make it harder for any government in Canada to get information from any company, also.
Meanwhile there isn't even any allegation of criminal proceedings in this case, and actually seems to be against the US First Amendment generally.Getting data from foreign hosted service providers is already very difficult.

The U.S. Trade Court on Thursday ruled against U.S. President Donald Trump's latest 10 per cent global tariffs, finding across-the-board tariffs were not justified under a 1970s trade law.
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in favour of small businesses that challenged the tariffs, which took effect on Feb. 24. The ruling was 2-1, with one judge saying it was premature to grant victory to the small business plaintiffs.
The small businesses had argued the new tariffs were an attempt to sidestep a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down the Republican president's 2025 tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
