In all honesty I am in the midst of pricing so I really don't know if the 21,000 mile available fare in economy is possible or this becomes a 26,000. Flush with the success of the Misner family I called the available telephone number found in Canada which connected me to the Oneworld office in USA. They said that they never price a Canadian purchased ticket with the benefit of the lower initial departing flight price. They have sent it off to be queried which will take they say at last 48 to 72 hours. I am flumoxed because my response seemed so weak and they seemed very disinterested with this anomaly in their traditional pricing. Any rules that pertain to this situation that I can find in writing. Thank You

I must say I am attempting this using BA Oneworld.
The Canada exception is a question that has already been answered by oneworld4u (see post #47). The rule you are looking for is the following:

The resultant fare must not be lower than from the country of sale. Exception: Not applicable for sales made and/or travel originating in Canada
