I wonder if tax breaks are drastically different. ie Alberta has a pretty good charitable tax credit that I think is better than the other provinces.

The difference between Alberta and BC/Ontario probably becomes really apparent as your salary goes up.
The same document I linked above indicates AB isn't cheaper than BC until ~115k, which is higher than I would have expected. Of course, at that point it's quite a bit better since their highest marginal tax rate is 4.7% higher than ours, so the "Alberta Advantage" kicks in quick once you're past that point.
