Here's probably what happened

- Epass charged you an amount in USD lower than $2.
- Your bank converted that to CDN at the appropriate Visa or Mastercard rate.
- They then added a 2.5% foreign currency conversion fee, which is a fucking ripoff... the card conversion rate is already conservative in the banks favour.

On my Visa statement the amount shows in AUD as normal, but also USD as part of the merchant descriptor (eg "PAYPAL USD100.00"). Perhaps you'll have to wait until you receive a paper statement to see that detail.
