No one country can claim the invention of bacon, however, there is a difference in the type of bacon depending on where in the world you are. In the UK, Streaky bacon is popular. In Canada, there are three popular types, Regular (cured pork belly) also known to some as streaky, Pea meal and Canadian (or Windsor) which is more like a smoked ham(?!?). Canadian or Windsor bacon is what traditionally is used in Eggs Benedict. Pea meal is most popular in Ontario, and everyone in Canada loves regular bacon.

Canadian bacon isn't ham. Canada Bacon is pretty much just regular bacon.
Canadian bacon is similar to ham in that it comes from the pork loin, but it is leaner and more mildly flavored. It is typically cured and smoked before being sliced and used in cooking.
No, as strictly bacon and ham come from pigs. You can treat any meat by curing it like bacon. Even though a ground hog is more like a mole you could do it, but the bacon or ham might not taste too good.
The question should be, 'Is it ham, or is it bacon'.
No, because a groundhog is more like a mole not really a pig and if you try to make bacon or ham from a groundhog it probably would not taste to good. So, no you can not make bacon or ham from a groundhog

Actually, Canadian bacon is ham - I lived in Canada for several years as a small child, and that's what all Canadians call it - and it is. Bacon is cured and smoked meat from the rib cage of the hog. Ham is what we'd call the pig's "hip" or "thigh"
