Sorry my friend but you are so far off it is not even funny. There is no way the "AVERAGE Canadian doctor across all specialties barely makes 120k". I'm probably the most business oriented in my class so I have to say I'm not pulling these numbers out of my ass. Know a interventional cardiologist who is going to AB, starting $750k. Same for Thoracic surgeons.
How about I just stick with British Columbia as the government makes this data easily available. First some RAW data then some details.
Check out:

Total Number of Practitioners, Services and Expenditure by Specialty
This gives gross FFS billing data. Take the gross expenditure and divide by # of practitioners to get a rough average. Be aware that this is only FFS billings and does not take into account private practice, other sources of billings (workers comp, insurance, ect) and does not cover the salaried MD's. Also does not account for those working part time.
Specialty Practitioners Services Expenditure
General Practice 4,629 23,684,535 $760,104,435 = $164,204 each (again, part -timers bring down the average)
Ophthalmology 180 1,336,285 $86,852,450 = $482,513 each
Dermatology 64 563,619 $18,004,307 = $281,317 each (and you know they are making more than that at >50 visits/day)
Radiology 263 2,619,269 $149,724,574 = $569,294 each
Anesthesia 412 2,165,973 $86,167,538 = $209,144 each (and remember in BC alot of rural communities are run by GP-Anesthetists working anesthesia part time 1-2 days per week so they will bring down the average)
Subtotal: 8,271 65,949,206 $1,956,374,356 = $236,534 average for all INCLUDING GP's
For exact details the BC government publishes the billing data for EVERY individual MD billing FFS in BC.

Again, does not take into account salary, private, and overhead but take a look through to see how well your claim to $120k stands up.
I try to only make statements and claims I can back up with hard data. There's my data direct from the BC government.
