We've been thru this before Bert on another thread, and also in this one.
You are talking 2 separate laws and somehow are thinking one is related to the other. Registration weights have nothing at all to do with axle/gross weights.
Registration weight limits is a tax. It's the amount a person pays to haul a certain amount of weight. If your state/province doesn't register their small vehicles by weight then it's not an issue for you.
So, what you are saying is that since Alberta doesn't register the weight for a private vehicle, I can load my truck or any other privately registered vehicle to 39,999 lb (19,999.5 lb per axle) and as long as I have tires to support that load, I will be legal? That doesn't make sence to me especially if I did that with my Chevy Venture or my wife's Malibu but I have not been able to find any law here or anywhere else that either supports or refutes that.

Axle/gross weights apply doesn't matter what your registration says.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Are you saying that the 20K/axle, 34K/tandem and 80K gross apply regardless of what I register my vehicle for? That would make sence to me.
