For that matter, the parts of the US that aren't the bay area, Seattle, NYC ... pay a lot less than the parts that are. The tech scene in Canada is much smaller, but pay seems similar to "the rest of US", for the most part. Perhaps a little better if you adjust for health care,etc. but I suspect it's a wash.

So is this really a Canada [or wherever] vs. US comparison, or large US tech-hub vs. everywhere else comparison?
