I remember back in the late 60s my parents used to occasionally get Danish bacon in a can. I don't know where they got it, and I have never seen it, but it was pretty good.

I don't remember bacon in Canadian combat rations. Luckily I didn't have to eat those things very often but I we usually ended up with the menu that included Vienna sausage and canned Jambalaya.
