Mostly because of wages.
E.g., in Canada, the person working in the shop is making at least $10 an hour, and could be making a lot more. So, the price of the items has to be high enough to pay his wages (and benefits). And, the person driving the truck from the warehouse makes $15 an hour, and the person driving from the factory to the warehouse about $25 an hour. And so on. All these things make the items more expensive than in India, which has much lower wages.
