The tuition for UWO is wrong. It was about $18700/year. Calgary is around $19 000 as well. I assume the rest of the universities are also higher than posted.
The reason for international tuition being so much is the cost of medical training for one doctor is in the ballpark of $300,000 to $400,000 - partly due to subsidized tuition and the cost of residency. Why would the Canadian government want to invest in an international student* who may return to their own country after their medical training. Also, McMaster is all-year round meaning you're paying for the cost of three terms instead of two. For American schools you can expect to pay around $50 000 per tuition (2 terms, 1 year), so it's comparable.
*Even if you're considered an international student during undergrad, you may be considered an Ontario Resident for doing school during this time. Not 100% sure about whether you pay international or regular tuition.
edit: also the deadlines for application are out of date. I'd check with the individual school's website or OMSAS for the most recent information
