And secondly, with 300 million there would be billions more in administrative costs. There is a reason that a municipal government tends to be more efficient than a provincial government. Provincial government than a federal government. Federal Government than a governing body like the UN.

Yes but the tax base is the same. 10X the population can roughly be equated to 10X the tax population unless there is some kind of anomally whereby these 270 million would either be all unemployed or high income earners. The fact is Canada has a good economy, lots of resources and 33 million people.
