Well we have higher gasoline taxes and a higher HST (which I'm no fan of) which probably has helped. Nova Scotia also does mostly full resurfacing of their highways versus the N.B. and P.E.I. methods of patching (which get ripped up by the plows in the winter).
No matter what, New Brunswick is delaying the inevitable, they need more money whether its taxes or whatever or they are going to end up like Greece.
