Sorry this happened to you.
My limited experience tells me it may not have been the canada post person.
I've received 2 guns through canada post. Both had signature required.
The first was taken to the local depot (a shoppers drug mart) and I was given a card for pick up.
When I went to the depot, I found I had forgotten the card. I simply told the clerk my home address, and she searched the pile of parcels until she found mine. She did not ask to see my ID. She did tell me I had to sign, and as I always do in such situations, I simply scribbled a squiggly line on the pad. She accepted that (I have never not had that accepted, ever at any store) and I left with the gun.
So to summarise: I had no pick up card, no ID, and no real signature. And I left with the gun!
The second gun was my recently arrived marlin. This time the CP did bring it right to the house, which I appreciated. He also did not request or check any ID, and he also accepted the squiggly line I made on the signature line. The only real improvement there is that, obviously, he knew the parcel was at the right address, and also it would have looked pretty obvious that I was the resident of that address. So I think we can give him credit for personally confirming the address and occupant, but all the same there still was no ID check or real signature.
Those are just 2 experiences, but they do lead me to believe that canada post would not be hard for a scammer to bypass.
