Here's some international coverage:

Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...heelchair.html
Straits Times: https://www.straitstimes.com/world/d...ide-wheelchair

I could see Air Canada's mishandling of the incident being taught in future MBA and PR courses.

Why? Airlines have had this issues for a very long time. These type of stories are the flavour of the month with Wokeism. The question people should ask, is if the rate of these issues are increasing to the number of pax flying. Lost luggage in the 80’s were a lot higher before barcoded tags were used.
