BA Search Engine Versus Expedia Huge Price variations

So I am doing a search for flights for myself and Mrs Openroad and our little three year old girl. YVR-LHR departing on 5th October (20:45) return 24th October (17:15), our dates are not finalized yet. Ideally I want to fly WT+ and upgrade us with Avios. I did a search and have been getting some really expensive WT+ prices for the dates.

So thought I would do a Club World Search, BA.com is giving me a price of CAD 16,924.20, after using the FX Convertor brings me down to $13,088.18.

I then search the same flights and time on Expedia and I get a price of $8,939.10

Am I missing something here? Does BA.com have a glitch, prices out of YVR do seem to have jumped. Also on BA.com when I go into Find Me the cheapest fare and look by month, none of the fares listed in the calendar correspond to the actual flights once I go in to select flights.
