I'd assume you'll get something out of Alberta in better shape and for less money (well, maybe not once you factor in shipping) than you would get for something out East.
When I was looking for my cutlass project, there seemed to be more cars out west and in better shape too. The prairies are like Canada's Arizona when it comes to cars. Well, maybe not quite the same, but much better than the Eastern rust belt.
If I ever decide to drive out to Edmonton to visit my sister rather than flying, I'll probably have to take the trailer
