If for example there was a published fare for AONE3 ex SYD, you would need to pay the higher converted price of ex SYD or ex TLV, even though you are starting in TLV. This would almost certainly be ex SYD.
Canada has legislation that prevents this "Higher Converted Cost" rule being applied to fares puchased from Canadian TA's.
Here's the rule: (

15. SALES RESTRICTIONS
When travel originates in a country for which a specific local currency fares is published and the ticket is sold in another country, the fare will be that published for the country of origin converted to the currency of the country of sale at the bank selling rate. The resultant fare must not be lower than from the country of sale.
Exception: Not applicable for sales made and/or travel originating in Canada or when BOTH travel originates and sales are made within the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA)/Switzerland.
