Tango+ fares allow 2 connections per direction. So its just a matter of using the multi-city trip option on AC.com. It's only affordable if same low Tango+ bucket is available for all legs and you don't go too far in the wrong direction.

The scheme works best if you have a direct flight option and the available connections are very short and not in a straight line.
There wasn't much you could have done going out.
But would it have killed you to go through YYC on the way back, leaving at 6:30am?
