Its equivalent to a 7-11 clerk bitching that he's underpaid because a welder makes 5 times as much as him.
The comparison of teachers across the provinces is pretty relevant.

It's true of all sorts of industries that salary depends on location even when the work is the same. Location is a significant factor.
I imagine most people in Canada, whether welders, engineers, teachers or anything else would be very unhappy to compete on an average salary basis with others doing equivalent work around the world. Lots of jobs have already been lost due to that. Salary is not an expression of the fundamental value of the individual's abilities so much as it is an expression of value relative to location. That's true for everyone.
