I tried requesting signature required from retailers that give the option, however it didn't work, Canada Post still dropped off just the pick up slip to go pick up.

Seems to me Canada Post is...

Domestically flight wise, UPS contracts out mostly to Cargojet, and Fedex uses Morning Star Express.

Neither Fedex or UPS are permitted to operate domestic flights within Canada.

If they even attempted to deliver. I haven't had Canada Post deliver a parcel in years now, standard procedure for them is to just leave the pick up slip and never attempt to deliver the parcel.
