Vancouver has some pretty kick-ass tap water... my friends have even commented on it when they've come to visit. I didn't notice how good it was until I went back to Alberta and tried the water after living here for a couple years. Even through a Brita filter it still tastes like garbage.
I love water enough that even when I'm out of the house I'll pay for a bottle of water before I'd ever think of buying pop or juice, so I would probably welcome a soda tax (even though it's not my country we're talking about). The stuff is terrible.
