When we speak about long-term residential care in Canada, we do not speak about a singular system, but rather ten different provincial systems of care, each with their own unique historical trajectories and possibilities for future reforms. While one can compare provincial long-term care systems from a number of different angles, this research project is concerned with rates of privatization. Using an historical institutionalist framework that emphasizes the role of ideas, interests and political institutions in public policy, I develop a framework of analysis that explains why two provinces – Ontario and Manitoba – have
taken diverging paths towards privatization. 53 per cent of long-term care beds in Ontario are in the for-profit sector, a rate remarkably higher than most other provinces and almost double that of Manitoba.
