I'd say someone playing with a vise.

I posted a multi-struck 1980 penny a while back, now in a PCGS slab 38482933 you will see the difference

John, I count at least 6 strikes on yours! Wow!
Mcshilling, I don't think it is a vise job because the denticles are all sticking out of the coin on every strike.

Lol did anyone happen to notice the backwards "WE" stamped into the reverse on the bottom left in the first pic? Clearly a US penny was also pressed into it as well.

Is this a triple struck penny? It looks like it got stuck in the penny press. Struck once at the Royal Canadian Mint, then struck a few more times with a small sledgehammer.

There are lots of threads in the Canadian variety sub-forum here on double and triple struck coins. The real ones definitely have unique properties to them. There is much to see and learn, just by scanning the archives here on CCF.
