So you are paying CAD$3.73 for 1 l of milk. Meanwhile, I am paying less than twice that for 4 l of milk in Ontario. You aren't making a very good case for the UK being cheaper.
It's also affected by salaries. The UK minimum wage is about $22 per hour, compared to about 17 in Canada. On the other hand, a web developer like me earns an average of about CAD$68,000 in the UK, versus around $80,000 in Canada.
The big question is the cost of housing, but I don't know what it is in the UK.
I got into the weeds a bit more in this comment.
Before I moved from Vancouver I was working piece work, so paid by the square foot of stone installed(I'm a stone mason). I was making about the equivalent of $40/hr. With cost of food, cell, vehicle insurance, fuel, etc. I had to live with 3 other people, my rent was still about $1000/month, $1500+ with bills. For a room.
