A personal care home in Winkler, Man., has been forced to close 26 desperately needed beds after its elevator became unstable, and petitioned the provincial government for months before Shared Health finally committed to fund the repair.

Karin Oliveira, CEO of Salem Home, had to make the difficult decision last month to move 26 people off the facility's second floor after she lost confidence in the elevator that kept breaking down.

I'm guessing this is the whole "sabotage public services and then scream that they don't work" routine on the part of the Canadian government?

I doubt it. It sounds more like garden-variety bureaucratic incompetence to me, which is not exclusive to the public sector.
