But here in the southern stretches of Canada I’ve never paid more that $4.90 Can, for two litres. Whereas in the far northern territories like Yukon the price of milk is extremely high.

Thing is, most people live in the south, while the far north is only scarcely populated. So your numbers are way off. By every measure, in my experience. Like laughably inaccurate.

I’d love to see a cite for the average price of milk in Canada being $6.23 US (=$8.30 Can), if you don’t mind.

Just read 2013-18, average price litre of milk in Canada $2.49 Canadian dollars, ($1.87 US)  
These statistics were released Mar 2018.

If you have other evidence, please share.

[Loblaw’s 2% milk](https://www.loblaws.ca/Food/Dairy-and-Eggs/Milk-%26-Cream/2%25-%26-Whole-Milk/2%25-Milk/p/20188873_EA) $4.35 CDN for 4l. I think that works out to $3.27 USD for 1.05 US gallons.

You can buy stupidly expensive stuff I suppose - [PC Organic Homogenized 4l](https://www.loblaws.ca/Food/Dairy-and-Eggs/Milk-%26-Cream/2%25-%26-Whole-Milk/Organics-Homogenized-Milk/p/20054844_EA) comes in at over $10 CDN.
