Being Canadian I don't ever think I've heard the term used commercially or
by other Canadians. Anything that isn't regular ole bacon is called back
bacon and according to my bronther in law who is pretty high up in the
Loeb/IGA chain says it is not sold in very great quantities. I guess we
prefer our bacon fat and "streaky"! Probably goes back to our colonial days!
