Are tomatoes grown in the UK more tasty, or is it all the same?

I am asking because I've moved back/forth a couple time between the US and Canada, and tomatoes made in the USA or central/south America are tasteless in the US. When I see tomatoes made in Canada in a US store that's what I buy, no matter what the price is, organic or not. Savoura is the brand that I prefer, but then again, I am not sure it is Canadian, and they make it all over the world and it taste different depending where they come from...

Canadian tomatoes are almost certainly greenhouse-grown, see this earlier HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11919735

So they're plentiful and cheap, but generally lack flavor.
