Nope. "Canadian" bacon is actually just plain back bacon. According to pop culture legend, after the war, there was a pork shortage in England so they imported pork from Canada. An American businessman happened to come upon the cured meats in a butcher shop during a trip to England and sampled it and liked it. When he asked what the meat was (referring to the type of dish) the butcher replied "It's Canadian" (referring to the origin of the meat). That's why US mostly refers to it as "Canadian Bacon" while in other countries its simply called "back bacon"... and in Canada "pea-meal bacon" when its wrapped in yellow peas (which is actually cornmeal now).

∙ 11y agoPigs. Canadian bacon is from the centre-cut of a boneless pork loin. A bit of trivia for you, you won't find anything called Canadian Bacon in Canada. It's called Peameal Bacon here.
No one can say for sure where the name originated. Best guess is sometime in the 19th century when England imported side bacon from Canada. Someone that translated into Canadian Bacon when it hit the American market.
