But that's just the thing Bill, for some reason, what we call back-bacon became called Canadian bacon in the States.
Nobody, but nobody, calls it Canadian bacon. It is identified as such so people from the States will know what it is. When Mr. and Mrs. Everybody walks into a butcher shop here, they'll ask for back-bacon.
Plus, I don't know about the other provinces but you don't find back-bacon in the grocery store - not yer big seller. It's just the regular old strip bacon.

You know what this reminds me of? My parents have a summer cottage on a lake called Lac St Paul. The lake has always worn that name. The residents called it that, the neigboring counties and towns knew it as that yet some government official decided it should be called Lac Moreau. For years all the maps were wrong. They finally fixed it about 10 years ago.
