Once an airplane declared any emergency, you have to land at the closest possible airport that can handle your emergency. Flying to YVR probably would be better for CX corporation, but it will be longer for the patient, and imagine if the patient dies CX will be in boatloads of trouble, that's why they landing in Winnipeg.
