I knew there were other reasons I liked this store. Costco threatened to take the BC provincial government to court, after the BC government demanded that Costco turn over their customer records of BC residents purchasing goods in Alberta.

Seems the BC government wants to ding anyone from this province who shopped in Alberta, going back to 1991?, for BC sales tax on any items purchased in Alberta where there is no provincial sales tax.

Costco said that their customer records are private and that it would fight the BC government in court to retain their customer's right to privacy. It now would appear that the BC gorvernment is considering backing down.
