Maximising number of J class flights between YVR & YYZ

As part of my RTW, my flights once I arrive in Canada are:

(ICN-YVR)
YVR-YYC,/x AC-C (428 miles)
YYC-YEG, AC-C (153 miles)
YEG-YYC, AC-C (153 miles)
YYC-YYZ, AC-C (1675 miles)
(YYZ-MEX)

The above domestic flights use 2409 miles out of (39K – FRWSTAR3) within Canada
(according to Great Circle Mapper) http://gc.kls2.com/

Max miles I can use within Canada = 2500 ( i am using 36500 for the remainder of the routing)

Objective is: Maximising mileage earned on LH M&M, which gives minimum 2000 miles in C Class for each domestic flight within Canada.

I cannot change the international ICN-YVR and YYZ-MEX sectors. YYZ & YVR are the two places I actually need and want to visit

First I couldn’t find any J/C class on YVR-YYJ,
I then thought the easiest way would be to add sectors i.e. break-up YYC-YYZ into lots of (small ) multiple C Class segments and go via Winnipeg or Regina or someplace else... But I couldn’t find J/C class on any of these that seems to work.
Or a routing thru YOW or YUL that keeps me under 2500 miles?

Am I missing something here and also is AC eliminating domestic J on lots of routes. Also is Air Canada Jazz the same as regular AC is terms of 2 class service and facilites (or lack thereof! )

So can any of the AC experts please help me in advising how to add some more sectors, maximise mileage earnings and yet stay within the mileage limit!

Thanks a heap in advance,
AJ
