Check your tax breakdown carefully.
Yes there are taxes and security charges - probably between $150 and $200 - you can t get away from those.
The rest is a
carrier administration charge - money that does not go to any government agency - it stays with Air Canada/Aeroplan.
It is lumped with taxes to trick people into believe that AC/AE do not keep the money. It is only payable when one flies Air Canada on an Aeroplan ticket. If you fly a partner, those charges are not charged.
