Here's where things get interesting.
National Canadian Bacon Day is created by an American company (as in USA rather than Canada, Central or South); it could be said it celebrates Canadian bacon, the American deli-style smoked back, round or oval shaped ham, that is leaner than belly originating strip bacon ('steaky' in Brit), and does not need to be cooked. This style (commonly found alongside pineapple on pizza), has nothing to do with Canada, except it is called Canadian bacon.
That is option one. Or...
Since this event was created by the producers of America's largest Bacon Festival (annually in Des Moines, Iowa), which attracts bacon connoisseurs of all flavors, (including Canadians), it is more likely it celebrates the original "Canadian bacon" of wet-cured pork loin from the back, rolled in crushed cornmeal and fried. This original is called Peameal bacon, a traditional Canadian breakfast delicacy.
Created in Toronto Canada, (and a reason Toronto is affectionately referred to as 'Hogtown'), Peameal is trimmed of all fat, soaked in brine, juicy and much lower in fat and cholesterol than the pork belly strips of traditional bacon. In fact, it looks more like the tenderloin of a pork chop with a yellow halo. Peameal bacon must be cooked before eaten.
Peameal bacon sandwiches are the official sandwich of Toronto, (just like Cheesesteaks are the official sandwich of Philadelphia); if you want to try the original, drop into the Carousel Bakery at Toronto's St. Lawrence Market.
Nobody said this would be logical. Therefore, either way you choose to celebrate National Canadian Bacon Day, with USA named Canadian Bacon that isn't Canadian or technically bacon, or with Canadian peameal bacon, which isn't bacon, but is Canadian, you win. Enjoy!
