Don’t know about RBC cards, but Amex SPG is explicit:
Full Fare - means 100% of airline ticket price, including taxes, was charged to the card. Full fare is extended to include airline tickets obtained through redemption of points from the card reward program when applicable taxes have been charged to card.
Now, TD and RBC are hardly masters in points game, so likely not as well defined, but worth checking (and claiming the insurance) and arguing that full price is those taxes paid by card.
