No.

Look: If a player makes $1,000,000 a year in Canada (all salaries paid in USD), that becomes about $1,350,000 in CAD. If the same player makes the same $1,000,000 in the U.S., that also becomes $1,350,000 in CAD. Only an idiot would assume that because the number in his income was larger, that meant he had more purchasing power.

It's exactly as if a man were exactly 72 inches tall, then measured himself at 182.88 centimetres, and because 182.88 > 72, concluded that he had grown taller. Measuring a thing in different units does not cause you to have more of it.
