You're welcome to think that. Just understand that's not actually what's happening. A lot of projects have funding at the federal level.
https://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/plan/icip-proj-piic-eng.html
Here's the list if you don't believe me. You can filter by province if you'd like.
You think I don't know that? It's an issue as well, federal vs provincial powers are defined but the federal government can't help but interfere? Well, there's a fucking issue with the federation and the amount of taxes that they collect then!
Remember, every time the federal government is giving money to finance programs that fall under provincial jurisdiction (when they're not simply running the program) it's a government mostly elected by people of other provinces that's deciding that and you're just one out of 28+ millions electors, come next election the government can switch and all that financing can simply stop even if your province (where your voice is a much higher percentage of the eligible voters) has been electing the same kind of politicians for decades, won't matter, people in other provinces decided that your province was gonna lose funding for programs that benefit you.
