Here, we often experience something similar on transfers to/from the EU. The route chosen by our ISP's routers is sometimes quite slow. Connecting first to a VPN, then to the same remote server, often results in a different, faster route.
This became much more noticeable as our local connection speeds improved over the years, to the current 100/10mb/sec cable connection (faster 250/20 is available, but not willing to pay the premium for it just yet).
...
Rogers Cable Internet, I presume. I currently have the 250/20 service, speeds just above 300mb/sec are fairly common for me here. Gigabit service available in my area sometime 'soon'.
May I ask which VPN service are you using to work around the Rogers speed issue?
