Though any straight across comparison is tough because of BC's sales tax and MSP premiums, as well as various deductions each province has.

I'm not sure, that's just something I found on a quick google. I did a quick mental math check that it was close to reasonable but nothing more. It might be ~2% as opposed to the 1.7% I posted.
It was put up by the AB chamber of commerce as a campaign piece for lower AB tax rates, so they wouldn't have any incentive to understate Alberta taxes, but it could have an error in it.
