Since aa.com now supports award bookings on AS flights, I suggest pricing the same trip as an AAdvantage award on aa.com, and see what the taxes are. My guess is that Canadian taxes applicable only to departures from Canada are coming into play.

Also, bear in mind that BA often tacks on a $25 telephone booking fee for redemptions made over the phone; perhaps that fee was waived on your prior booking.
