Comparable natural resources?
Now I'm not an expert but those look somewhat different to me.

Government overspending and the resultant tax structure has very much a huge part in the languishing of Canada's poorest economies; Quebec, Martimes, and soon to be Ontario.

Not being blessed with the same high valued natural resources has done that, not government overspending. I don't think that the government should spend money freely but the money they do spend should be investing in the people and infrastructure of the province. These are areas where you see a return on your investment in the long run.
