Your logic makes no sense to me. The US is "richer" then Canada on a per person basis, if they choose to tax differently that's their ball of wax but it's wrong to say the abiltity doesn't exist to raise the same level of funds.

Yes, there'd be 10 times the Albertans, but there'd also be 10 times the Quebecors...
