Looks like a surcharge or a denomination change from the obvious 2¢ to 1¢. I don't think that it being a wee-bit off center has anything to do with anything with the exception of being rude.
I'll be the first to admit that I know really nothing about Canadian stamps but if it was an honest to goodness surcharge why would the king be scored out? Maybe worth a little further research?
I dont really know, but in my opinion the stamp does have a bared cancel..BUT the colouring of the 2 cents is not in line with the bar cancellation and the colour on the 2 cents does not line up...Look below, removed the stamp and left the cancellation only..I think some one had fun with a marker..Why, probably just for kicks.
