«Most long term care homes in Ontario were municipally-run or nonprofit until the 1990s, but that changed under the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. Now 59 per cent of the province’s approximately 600 LTC homes are owned and operated by the private sector.
A few big chains control most of what is now the LTC “market” in Ontario, including the largest in Canada, Chartwell Retirement Residences, where Harris is chair of the board.»
The private sector cannot be trusted to care for 80,000 seniors
