Sure. The thing you're looking at is the uBlock Origin widget,
and it shows things that your browser is being told to retrieve
by the code of the website that it is looking at.
Just going to https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency.html
shows me this:
canada.ca
www.canada.ca
adobedtm.com
ajax.googleapis.com
akamaiedge.net
botframework.com
demdex.net
duckduckgo.com
go-mpulse.net
gstatic.com
omtrdc.net
v0cdn.net
All of these are at www.canada.ca's request.
