I've been informed that Canadian bacon ain't really Canadian.

That's not what I read. To be labeled as "Canadian bacon," it must be made from 51% to 80% corn-fed Canadians of proper age.

I asked the google machine: What Is Canadian Bacon?

Canadian bacon, also called back bacon or rashers, comes from the pork loin of a pig. The dish originated in Canada and is different from American-style bacon (also called streaky bacon), which comes from pork belly and has much more fat (possible re wording for "and has much more fat" maybe we consider, "and has oh so much more flavor" instead).

More internet fake news, I say.

Don't let them obfuscate the clear distinctions between pork belly bacon, pork loin bacon, and authentic Canadian back bacon!

This. In England the bacon we Canadians & Americans typically enjoy is called 'stringy bacon'. Over there, regular bacon is what we'd call back bacon.
As a Canadian I rarely eat 'back bacon'.
