Considering a decent residential internet connection is $50/month, I doubt you'll find anything in the sub-$50/month range. Why not just get a static IP from your local provider and "co-lo" it in your closet?

OVH has since moved their lower end systems to SoYouStart. I've delt with OVH/SYS, iWeb, Peer1, 1&1. My opinion of OVH/SYS is they're quite good. Currently a $60/mo gets you into the quad core 3.4Ghz, 32GB Ram, 2x2TB hardware raid, 200 Mbps guaranteed up/down, unlimited traffic. The cheaper ones don't have any KVM over IP but their web interface lets you install a variety of distros which it does automatically from over the network. They also have a network boot recovery which comes in handy.

I emailed FiberFortress, specifying 1 or 2 3U servers. He replied with a half rack quote at $550. Still waiting for a response to my second query.
I'm curious - why do you need your own hardware at a colo site instead of just renting a VPS?
If you want a VPS inside Canada, the biggest player (with, apparently, really good support) is OVH.com. Well, at least until/unless Quebec secedes, at which point whether they're "in Canada" or not depends on where the border gets drawn :-). They'll also colocate your servers.
Also with a good reputation is Blackbridge ( http://www.blackbridge.com/networks/facilities/location.html).
However, keep in mind that $50/month for 3U of colo rack space is actually a really good deal... one I don't think you'll be able to match in Canada, at least not at reputable establishments. (I mean, seriously, you could put your server in my rack for $50/month, but I can only guarantee you about 10Mbps symmetric right now.)

For dedicated server hosting in Canada, I have used iWeb. They aren't the speediest network wise, but I have had very good service and reliability for the last 7 years (one HD failure, which they fixed immediately).
If you check their warehouse clearance section, you can get a pretty good deal. I have a Dual-Core machine with 8GB of Ram and 2x500GB HD's for $59/month.
