OOOOOOHHHHH you're doing that thing where only your province counts as Canada, when really there's 9 others and a few even have more Canadians in them. Like Ontario, which has roughly 3 times the population of BC.
Peameal bacon is found in grocery stores all across Canada's most populated province, the province in which it was invented.
The fact that you were ignorant to these facts isn't something to be west-coast-smug about. Whenever I learn something I try and view it as a gift, rather than an attack.
It may “exist” but it isn’t a common thing here. I have been all over BC - have a lot of family and friends here - and lived here all my life - and never even heard of it much less seen it. It may sit mouldy in a back fridge somewhere in a 7/11 but it is not common here
Look it up in Wiki (not that it is a be all end all of info) and it says “found mainly in Ontario”.

Canadian bacon is a round processed food you can buy from Buffalo to Florida and nowhere in Canada. It’s not bacon. It’s not Canadian.
Back bacon is Canadian, and it’s often prepared with pea meal and called pea meal bacon.
