Ontario and as I mentioned specifically the Golden Horseshoe area, is the most important area of the country for trade (the Quebec City-Windsor corridor as a whole really). So fair or not I'm guessing they got a ton a federal funding for the roadways for the corridor. Plus its been an established corridor for at least 20 years.

Population growth is not necessarily a reason for increased infrastructure spending. In theory if a city/province plans its infrastructure properly and correctly projects population trends, it should already have strong infrastructure in place. I mean realistically without the oilsands Calgary and Edmonton likely don't see the population booms, which would obviously reduce the amount needed for infrastructure.
