You think higher taxes translates into better services, just look at the Maritime and see what sorry state they are in 15% HST and they are still piss poor. Their youth come to AB to look for work leaving them with even less tax revenues but more seniors to take care of.
The government has no incentive to do more with less.

Look at the difference in industry though, people aren't leaving the Maritime provinces because of the tax rates, they are leaving because of the unemployment and lack of industry, which has more to do with a lack of natural resources now the the fisheries have bottomed out rather than anything to do with the tax rates.
