Not only do we Albertans have to pay BC sales tax, but technically if you're from BC and shop in Alberta you're still supposed to pay the BC sales tax. I doubt it's enforced much for individuals, but it is for businesses - we got audited a few years back since we have Alberta and BC offices to make sure we were paying PST on any equipment or computers we bought in Alberta and used in BC (and it wasn't just things kept in BC - if we used a laptop for more than 2 weeks in our BC office then sent it back to Calgary we were required to pay partial PST on it).
