So let's say if I want to go from YYZ-YYC-LAX-HNL-YVR-YYZ

I should search up all those flights individually? This sounds amazing!
Yes, search Aeroplan.com for:
YYZ-YYC Find a flight that is available and that suits you.

Then look for YYC-LAX Make sure that you are in LA for less than 24 hours

then LAX-HNL and so on.

The maximum amount of "Legs" is officially 10 but sometimes the agents can be a bit more generous. You also have a limit for Miles, I don't know what it is for your flights but if you fly in somewhat of a straight line (I.E. don't go from LA to Vegas then to SFO - HNL) you should be ok. Officially it's the miles from YYZ to HNL (Start and Farthest point) + 5%.

Once you have a valid set of flights, call Aeroplan (You can't check or book more than 3 legs yourself on Aeroplan.com) and have them confirm your bookings or book on the spot.
