Compared to not getting to cities like Regina and Saskatoon at all, I'm sure WestJet will be quite acceptable. Much better than Jazz on a CRJ, you have to admit.

If you put in any of those Canadian O&Ds (YYG, YDF, YHZ, YQM, YUL, YOW, YQB, YYT, YQY, YQT, YWG) and either LAX or DFW in step 1 of booking on westjet.com, you will see "Operated by American Airlines" on the applicable segments when you are presented with flight options. I've checked for all 11 Canadian O&Ds against both LAX and DFW, they are all available. DFW is a lot easier to see in the available flight options, as WS doesn't fly there, you have to look a bit further with the LAX options, due to both WS only and WS/AA routing.

I live in Boston and have family in Edmonton YEG. glad to know that I can use/earn AA miles to go to YEG now! However, only route is via YYZ. I might as well use Air Canada. I was hoping to avoid Pearson airport and the customs headaches there.
Usually fly to MSP or ORD.

If you fly to Canada often, consider getting NEXUS. It expedites the process quite nicely.
