• Natural gas and electricity costs are dramatically lower in Canada, with Alberta cities having the lowest costs of all provinces.
• Transportation costs are generally lower in Canada than they are in the United States. When looking at dollars per tonne, Canadian road transportation costs are 32% lower than rates in the United States. These savings are largely due in part to favourable exchange rates and a higher gross vehicle weight in Canada.
