OMG - the MSM is at it again, fabricating utter bullshit for some unknown reason.

SEOUL - A South Korean television broadcaster that used "inappropriate" images for some countries in its Olympics coverage has apologized after the photographs sparked criticism that the network had invoked negative stereotypes.
During its coverage of the Opening Ceremonies at the Tokyo Games, Munwha Broadcasting Corp. aired photos in what it said was an attempt to help viewers quickly identify each country.
Its photos for South Korea showed famous buildings and statues and the K-pop group BTS. A piece of salmon was shown for Norway, and pizza - topped with what looked like pepperoni, Canadian bacon and olives - was displayed for Italy.
Other countries' images were less savory. Ukraine was represented by Chernobyl, the 1986 nuclear disaster, and Haiti's image showed demonstrators in front of a burning street following the recent assassination of the country's president.
...and why pray tell
Canadian bacon on the pizza?
I mean what was Canada's image - raping and stoning of a native woman?
