$10,000 spent on 2 Amex Biz cards is 110,000 AP miles for instance. Actually that is just the free miles, add another 10,000 for the spend.
In Canada there isn't really other options for easy miles. Air Miles anyone? I didn't think so. We have Alaska cards but I'm planning for those to be used a few years from now? A quick look at Avios for F&J travel I have to Bali next August netted Zero results.
I'll be sticking to Aeroplan for now and it will even easier to get home from Asia given there will be more award flights available.
It's one thing to keep getting AE miles from credit cards (arguably if you're in Canada and NOT collecting AE CC miles you're throwing away money), but I dont see a reason to credit flight-spend miles to AC/AE unless you only fly donestic due to the lack of any kind if reasonable WS FFP.
Flying anything but domestic (or maybe if you fly enough to be SE100 and not have to worry about YQ) I think you'd now be better off crediting UA/TK for example, or, just avoid *A altogether and fly ST/DL (though debatable because their redemption chart is even more of a crapshoot), OW (though AA might devalue earning soon, but even then it'll arguably only fall to AC levels worst case scenario) or Alaska if you're west-coast based.
I know nothing about jetblue but I've heard good things? Not sure they have an FFP comparable to AS or if they're more like WS for the east coast.

This is exactly how it's NOT done.
I think he was being sarcastic.
