Philly here

Gotta get that porkroll, egg and cheese sandwich... A friend from that area introduced it to me years ago while I was visiting, and I was sold. So good.

Thats pretty funny, it is definitely a thing I see but almost never order! Pork roll seems either Canadian or, for whatever reason, New Jersey to me. Not that its a bad choice, im just a sausage main.

Well it shouldn't seem Canadian, that would be weird lol

I am probably just misrembering the movie, but the John Candy movie "Canadian Bacon" , dont they talk about how Americans use the term Canadian bacon when talking about pork rolls?

Ohhhh no, porkroll is it's own regional thing that's unique to, I believe, Southeast PA and NJ.

Usually you'll see Taylor brand. You might also hear people in North Jersey call it Taylor Ham, but that's dumb lol.

You are correct that Canadian bacon exists, and it's way different than the bacon in the US, but porkroll is its own thing. I'm honestly not sure why it's so regional because it's so good on a breakfast sandwich.
