Does this seem correct about food prices?

Comparing like-to-like, food prices seem to be 20% to 50% higher in Canada than the USA. While wages and salaries seem to be 20% to 50% lower in Canada vs the USA.

Worst case scenario that means it can be twice as expensive for some people to eat the same food as their USA counterparts. Best case, 40% higher.
