Hydrogen - because of the constitutional provisions which make provinces responsible for cities, the Provinces have historically resisted the Feds directly dealing with cities. If Alberta had a PST that is where the mayors should be going for their cut but in order to maintain a united front they have to ask for GST.
Okay, I am more than well aware of the constitutional provisions concerning cities and the feds. At the same time there is nothing that actually prevents the federal government in making investments in cities. Most provincial governments would not be stupid enough to resist a couple of billion dollars being invested in infrastructure.
