Default Diamond hole saw bit in Calgary

I want to drill a hole in my sump and I need an 1-3/4" hole saw bit. Does anyone know where I can pick one up in Calgary for a reasonable price? Rona and Home Depot only have them up to 1-3/8" and they are around $80. The biggest one Home Hardware in Strathmore has is 1-1/2" for $10.
I need it asap...

I have one but I might need it again someday so I don't want to sell it. You're more than welcome to borrow it though if you like. I'm on the east side of the city, not far from Golds.

Thanks for the offer. If I cannot find one for purchase at a reasonable price I will take you up on it.

+1 Ebay. Landed cost will be around $10-20. Bought a few bits now off a seller based in Hong Kong, don't remember the name but can look it up if need be.

There's also mops.ca has them, glass-holes.com and I'm sure a host of other mail-order shops too.

I needed one in a hurry because I took down my sump in preparation for drilling the hole, without actually having one in hand. Silly me for not knowing that the local hardware stores would carry ever size but the one I needed.
Thanks to Sean for the loaner!
