Not as far fetched as one might think. And it might come down to that. Province to province to province(and Territory).
This is the only way for non-commercial shippers.
Nobody ships dangerous goods anymore unless you have an actual business account with them. It's not like signing up at CP.
A can of smokeless powder is no more dangerous than the cardboard box it will be packaged in. IF the shipping container is on fire, then they have bigger problems than the contents of a 1lb can of gunpowder. Some of the rules in this country are downright stupid.
The shipping itself isn't all that expensive (for 2024). It's the Dangerous Goods and Hazmat fees etc. I know that Purolator will ship it for a not too bad price, but you need to be registered with them as a business or else they won't ship Dangerous Goods.
If you know someone with a commercial account with one of these couriers (UPS, Purolator, etc.) maybe you could ask them if they'll ship it for you at their cost.

A box is a box is a box. I’ve done it many, many times.
Know any truck drivers. Worked for me in the past.
