A Toronto man claims a Canada Post employee forged his late mother’s signature when delivering a registered letter with her name on it. Erica Natividad reports.
This happens more times than you think. They sign for you so they can leave the package at the door and not bring it back to a depot. Some people may not even know it required a signature.

In a similar vein, you can't have regular postage stamps delivered without a signature because theft by postal carriers is surprisingly rampant for a well-paid position.

If the mailman spent 10 minutes at each door, they would work 18 hour days for minimum wage. They sign for you . Currier contractors get a penalty from the terminal if it's not delivered. In the end,, the mailman gets chased by dogs , drives on ice through whiteouts & doesn't get paid.

I think we all know how Canada Post could improve this situation. Go back to the days where clerks and carriers were paid a decent, living wage with benefits and use bondable employees, meaning they have never been in any legal trouble with any employer in the past and are unlikely to be a security risk. This would ensure trustworthy employees who wouldn't want to lose their jobs and would perform duties to the best of their ability.

I am not sure if Canada uses the signed mail as a way to serve people legal documents as signature of verified recipient is used. If this is the case , the case of forgery is much more serious because the court will consider that person legally served on delivery receipt.

It is important to note that many customers have and do give Canada Post and other carriers the right to sign on their behalf. This occurs when the customer gives written authorization for this. Maybe the son in this occasion is not aware of this, therefore it is important to withhold judgement .
