Are you better off living in Canada or in the UK (in terms of making money)?

There have been some great responses to this thread. My experience having lived in both countries is that it all comes down to what you are looking for, if your looking for a better standard of living and potential for wealth growth - Canada has more opportunities to start from the ground up. Also in terms of standard of living there is very little comparison between the UK and Canada.
As an example: I graduated with a computer science degree in the UK - my starting salary in the UK from multiple offers was averaging around £26k.
When I applied for the same job in Canada my job offers were averaging at $75k.
Again this is a small sample from a very specific market but it serves to indicate the differences in standard of living.
