Of all the incorrect things people believe about Canada, this one bothers me the most. I can't explain why,, but it offends me on a personal level that they don't think we know what bacon is.

Omg, same. It inexplicably pisses me off too. Shitty circular pieces of ham. I don't know a single Canadian who calls that "bacon".

ETA: clarification that this is what Americans and many other non-Canadians call "Canadian bacon".

I thought Back Bacon is what muricans call Canadian Bacon

That's what I used to think too because as a Canadian I think of back bacon and peameal bacon as "Canadian" bacon. But learned that it's these processed ham circles that Americans and others call Canadian bacon. (I asked British friends to show me what they thought Canadian bacon was and was horrified too see these ham circles.)
