Does anyone know if this happens to be a mistake? And if A3 will change this?
I understand that T/L/K are T fares for certain int'l flights; however, T/L/K remain T+ fares on intra-Canada flights. Perhaps A3 made a mistake?

I wouldn't be surprised. There's rumours on this board of aegean crediting miles on fares where none were due. However, I wish they would have added a "on tickets booked after [date]" disclaimer. It seems it would be more fair that way.
We will have to wait and see, I suppose. It seems someone is wrong here, either AC or aegean. I suspect it probably has something to do with the recent move to place Tango on all international fares.

Or A3 was not too happy about this.

This is not exactly a surprise - AC cut their own earnings months ago. If you look across at the AC board, and do a search, you'll find that their company representative has stated that all fares previously booked as T+ would be re-classified so they remained as T+ rather than drop to T. (I purposefully took a screenshot at the time, just in case it was edited later.)
The re-classification should have happened months ago, but this is AC ...
Probably worth a PM to the lurker to see what's happening if your MMB (like mine) still hasn't been amended.

However, on intra-Canada flights, booking classes K/L/T remain T+ and earn 100% on AC. That is where the issue lies with me. I'm fine for K/L/T earning 50% for int'l flights, but not for domestic.

AC reclassified K/L/T as T fares int'l flights. These fare classes earn 50% on AC. Therefore, yes, I do agree that they should earn 50% on A3.

We might get used to broken promises from airlines, particularly AC, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't push to get what's rightfully ours.

As someone who just made A3*G 2 weeks ago on a longhaul AC K fare - looks like i got in just in time.
AC KLT still credits 100% to UA - but with A3 (and US) changing earnings recently - I would certainly not be comforable booking AC KLT fares and expect to earn 100%.
