Actually it wasn't really bacon ... it's a "baconized" pork roast. 
Pork butt is a fatty, but not TOO fatty, cut of pork. It's cut from 
near the shoulder. When it's brined and then roasted like that, it 
comes out kind of hammy, and that must be why Jose is calling it a 
"Canadian" bacon (which is much more what I'd consider a small ham)

I don't understand why anyone would want to simmer the thing first 
then roast it, unless they wanted to get rid of some of the fat and 
almost all of the benefits of brining. To me, this would be much 
better if it were brined for a day and then put in the smoker at about 
250 for three or four hours.
