IANAL...but from the article's phrasing, it does not sound like Air Canada's 3rd-party in-flight medical emergency advice provider (MedAire) provides Air Canada with any liability coverage in case of lawsuits.

Just as interesting - it sounds like the cabin crew had nothing but aspirin to offer to the victim. With how many AED's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_external_defibrillat... - I see in public buildings these days (admittedly in the US)...that seems very odd.
