I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. Alberta has by a wide margin the largest proportion of workers earning 100k, and it’s only 15 per cent. In a province where 28 per cent have a university degree, and decent chunk of those earning 100k are in the oil patch and trades and don’t have post-secondary.
I’d wager most Canadians who have a university degree will never earn 100k. That only seems like a moderate income if you travel in affluent upper-middle-class circles who make up a much smaller proportion of Canadians than you seem to think.
