Transportation companies run all over the country, if you start raising their costs across the board they can easily move their warehouses a few hours away across the provincial border. It's also not that hard to have their drivers buy fuel before entering Alberta if the prices are lower, in fact it is common practice to top up where prices are best. Those trucks hold thousands of liters and can go quite a way with the tanks full.
I wasn't aware that Alberta charged import taxes on food coming from BC and Sask, perhaps you can enlighten me?
