I'll paraphrase what I have previously stated, getting "dinged" a little for service fees is one thing, but to use (remember now) REWARD points to book or buy something and getting "gouged" over 600 bucks is (as I have said) RIDICULOUS!
But again, thanks for doing the math!

Wow. A bit hostile, aren't we?
With the exception of the $380.00 CAD fuel surcharge, the remainder of the taxes and fees are simply collected by Air Canada and paid to various government and airport authorities.
Who is missing the obvious point here? How does the old saying go? "...death and taxes." I was merely pointing out that you are paying the same taxes and fees as anyone else on a business class ticket from Winnipeg to London. If you believe that somehow you should be exempt from paying the same taxes everyone else does then that's between you and Air Canada.
I find it amusing that you aren't happy that you're getting a ticket which would have cost over $8200 CAD in base fare in exchange for the miles which were given to you for free. Perhaps you're a "the glass is half-empty" sort of person?
