Need a travel agent in Canada

Hi, I'm trying to book RTW on Oneworld with plans to pick up at least 3 if not 4 100k bonuses. My problem is I can save over US$1000 per ticket if I can get them in Canada but no one at Canadian seems to understand what I'm trying to do. They are all very nice but just a little slow on understanding that there is a reason for all those legs and it ain't cause I love to sit in an airplane.

Does anyone out there have a Canadian travel agent I could talk this over with. I even tried to get Canadian to give me a fax number so I could send the itinerary and save them having to write everything down. No fax available I was told. So a very nice guy wrote down every leg as I dictated them. He kept saying to me, "You don't really need to do that connection. You can go direct." And I kept saying, "Just let me do my thing, please. Believe it or not, there is method to my madness." And madness it is! See the lengths I'll go to for those miles. I can't believe how greedy I've suddenly become.

Help, please!! I put a lot of time into this thing and I'd hate to see it go to waste. And I'd sure hate to pay more than I have to for the tickets.

Thanks all. (Remember you guys out there created the mileage monster I have become. In the normal course of my newly retired life I wouldn't have even known about 100K on all those airlines.)
