Chances are, had you tried to buy a ticket off the website on the 25 March to fly Canada - Frankfurt then Oslo back to Canada you would have reacted the same way you did when the agent told you it was going to cost you $1000.00. Prices go up! That's natural with any business. If you bought sneakers for $89 and you return them and all they have in the store is $150.00 or higher; you have choices to make!
The perception of breaking a journey into its little components of flights is common but it really has no bearing. The fact the flight went through Frankfurt just confuses the issue, you could have just as easily been routed through London or Amsterdam to get to Oslo. That may have improved your perception of your request; ie it's easier to see changing London to Frankfurt as a change; opposed to "not getting on the plane" in Frankfurt since you were there already. It is still a change from your original journey. You are subject to the same cost anyone would be if they decided on the 25 Mar they wanted to travel "the next day" to Germany - sometimes it's cheap; most times it's not.
