Concerning bacon sold in Canada......?

Why is (most packages of) regular strip bacon in Canada considerably leaner than that sold in the USA?? I am NOT referring to what is called "Canadian bacon" in the USA, but the usual strip bacon mostly grilled for breakfast?? (I have homes in both countries and this has always intrigued me). Is it because hogs are slaughtered at different weights or a meatier breed is raised in Canada?

    BACON!

    That is the ONLY thing that is at issue here.

    Canadian pigs are UNDERFED! So they are not slaughtered at DIFFERENT weights, under Canadian Law they are simply allowed to STARVE to death to avoid strict Canadian laws for Halal and Kosher bacon!
