Inside Higher Education has a brief summary of the study: "Faculty Pay, Around the World":

The project's website contains much more data so that you can perform your own analysis.

If you're looking for a faculty position either here in Canada or elsewhere around the world, this will probably provide you with a few more factors to consider in your search.
