BC has lower corporate and income tax to more than account for the carbon levy. So if it's produced and sold in BC they don't really have to pass on those costs. Most provinces have some sort of provincial/hst tax on their gas so there's really not much advantage there. Cities are where it gets a little wacky. But the reality is those prices are worked into costs as will our carbon levy.
