The earning potential comes from up-skilling and potentially applying yourself to other fields - literally. For example, the 40k mark seems awfully low compared to the pay up in Alberta. Mind you, the quotes of ~100k+ are typically for skilled labor - typically welders or the like.
You will also note that generations of North Americans raised their family this way. Certainly not the easiest life, but definitely doable.
