YYC-LAX-ADL and back. Is this possible?
I called into aeroplan and tried booking a flight from YYC-LAX-ADL-LAX-YYC, which with connections turned into something like YYC-LAX-NRT-SIN-ADL, and back. The rep said that it was over the MPM.
I couldn't find any flights that took a more direct path.
Is it possible to book this (including the stopover at LAX both ways)?

Welcome to fyertalk
You will learn that the knowledge here is usually far superior to the knowledge of the AP desk.
For the AP desk its a job, for the people here , its living it ^

Valid MPM from Canada to Oz via Asia
I had to find a good AP agent to get me into PER in J within MPM constraint. I could have flown east or west, i.e., via Europe or Asia into PER thru either BKK or SIN. But we had to test several solutions to find one that fell within either MPM or valid routing rules, as PER is a bit of a challenge given you cannot fly YYZ-SYD and connect on *A onward to PER.
Even when my ANA tool was saying there were J seats on a flight, some of the ANA solutions did not meet MPM criteria. The valid routing approach overcame the MPM constraints, in the end.

Another way of addressing it is by entering it into the AE search engine and seeing what combinations come up on any day. Chances are, you will get your routing, even if it is seen in economy (and you want business).
You can then say to the agent that you have seen it offered on the website so you should be able to book it as cited.
It's the easiest way to identify legal routings as the website is MPM calibrated to AE's specifications.
