Were they not supposed to do this??
Does your aadvantage account have a US address? If so did you give them your AA frequent flyer number when you booked? Did they think, have reason to believe, you were actually in Canada when you bought the previous tickets?

I guess it depends upon if the sale is actually made in Canada, never mind whether you used a Canada denominated credit card.
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.
