The more I shopped around, the more I felt like a fool for automatically giving AC the business for so long.

I always go to ITA first, and AC almost always comes out cheapest for the flights I'm taking that have at least one end in Canada. Sometimes there's a slightly cheaper option, but I'm not going to fly Delta to go from $500 to $480.

I guess I don't fly the expensive routes.
