Final update. My seeds arrived yesterday, picked up at the mailbox today.
Seeds received were 3 Four Assed Monkey, 3 Fugue State, and 3 freebie Northern Bear (Northern Cheese Haze x 3 Bears OG).
Pics of all below.

Bottom line is that the seeds appear genuine, and the freebie is interesting to me. Since the seed zip lock was not heat sealed by Mephisto, it is of course possible that the seeds have been replaced with something other than Mephisto, but that seems a long shot to me. The zip lock and security label appear perfect to me. There is no way of knowing how old the seeds are or how carefully they have been stored, so that much at least is a crap shoot, one that, sadly, I will not be testing until my grow next winter, at least not unless one of the current ladies croaks unexpectedly. Total cost was $110 Cdn, including $20 expedited tracked shipping.
Overall, it is my impression that Canadian Autoflower is a small operation that is trying hard to get started. Their service and communication is as good as I have experienced, and the stock seems genuine, but it seems that they have some administrative stuff to sort out with Mephisto, and they need to get some more breeders on board, preferably officially.
Happy seed hunting peeps, and good luck
@canadian_autoflower getting your operation developed further. If anyone jumps aboard, and grows some of their stuff, please document for the rest of us.
