you are correct it is law in alberta, section 56, to turn off your high beams when approaching another vehicle, but it is not against the law to flash another driver quickly to warn them you are coming up from behind them.

I still think your could interpret that law as being absolute, meaning do not turn your high beams on within 300 m of a car, even to flash them.
In Ontario it is illegal.
It's just something that ticks me off. The impact of flashing your high beams is the same to keeping them on when approaching a car, just much shorter in duration. In my opinion, being blinded for a fraction of a second is a far worse than hearing someone honk at you.
But I agree with a previous poster, trying to get people to stop this is like beating my head against a wall. It's just not going to happen.
