There is a reasonable argument that you should be able to find many more efficiencies in capital spending with larger populations.

As the populations grow they generally focus on urban areas, meaning less infrastructure is required per person and less focus on spreading capital to small outlying populations.

Hasn't been the case in Alberta.
