Buying a new video card...

But, but, but... He said $75 USD or $100 CDN (and I also took that to mean with shipping (~10-15$).

They don't ship to Canada.  Also, wholesalers get things a little cheaper in the US due to bulk.  Canadian mail order sites are not as easy to find.

Exactly correct. For $100CAD, you can't do any better than a FX 5200 or 9200se. It just cannot be done. Newegg is useless, because they don't ship to Canada.

Here are the Canadian hardware websites I have bookmarked.

If you browse around the video card sections, you'll see that anything better than a FX 5200 or 9200se are wayyy above his price range.
