Just to wrap my story in case anyone in Canada is looking for cost estimates. On top of the 225$, they charged tax so it ended up being 254$ which was a huge pill to swallow. Since I was at the start of a 3 year contract and the local repair shops still didn't have parts, it only made sense to pay it however I will be very interested to know what third party shops end up charging when they get the parts in.
As an aside - when I picked it up, the guy who's in charge of sending off all repairs at the local Bell store asked how it broke. I told him and he said he was asking because after several months of selling this phone he hadn't seen any other ones with screen damage. Doesn't make me feel super happy about my break, but lends a little more confidence to the repair and the suspicion that it was just a really fluky situation.
