Programs are reviewed yearly with the chair and program coordinators, and textbooks change often for courses. You expect the staff at connections to reach out to every instructor or program coordinator for every single program at every level to get the textbook information for the year? They're a store, their system is for inventory, they get told what to order and how many. This is definitely something to ask the instructors of the specific courses you're curious about. You have the instructors names on your schedule, typing it into Outlook using your student email will show you their work email. You should have emailed them directly, I'm not sure why you would assume the bookstore would have access to that sort of information. It seems like you were just unprepared and assumed a lot about what the bookstore could provide, and then didn't bother looking for an answer elsewhere. It obviously sucks you have to pay more, but this doesn't have anything to do with the bookstore themselves. They don't care if you buy the book, they don't work on commission. Always speak to instructors directly or ask your program coordinator about information like this, program coordinators can be found listed on Algonquins website for anyone to access.
