Car insurance is not cheaper in Alberta, unless you are a male under 25. BC has a flat insurance, which means everyone absorbs the cost of the 25 and under guys who are constantly getting in crashes.
The one example of insurance being cheaper involved someone being able to wipe their record clean upon moving out of Alberta.
Income taxes are marginally cheaper, but only if you're below a certain income level. You'll find that just about everything else is more expensive. There's also extra taxes on gas, alcohol, etc..
Anyone moving from Calgary to Vancouver for economic reasons is in for a rude awakening.
