From the Aeroplan website:
"For bmi code-share flights operated by another Star Alliance airline, refer to the Aeroplan Miles section of the carrier operating the flight."
I believe the Aeroplan earning rules that are used are those of the operating carrier - AC in this case. L booking on AC is 100%, so if L was also the fare on AC, it should be 100% earning. Unfortunately, as g_h_t points out below, the fare marketed as L by BD is not necessarily an L on AC.

Got it now. Reading some of the old threads, it seems like to only way to figure it out is to call BD to ask what their L fare maps to on AC flights. Of course, that relies on getting a knowledgable airline agent. That's the trick of it.
It does not appear that AC sells Tango fares on the YHZ-LHR route. Should that make me feel a little better that the BD L fare
probably maps to a 100% earning fare class on AC?
