I agree with most of what you say but would caution that just because they live in Canada doesn't mean they don't have a frame of reference. I live in the US and have spent a cumulative 3 years living in some of the poorest countries on the planet.
This has definitely opened my eyes to the plights of those in actual poverty.
I get where you are coming from in general, though, and agree that GDP/capita is a poor metric.
