Yeah, point takenWink, except for CANO (they're full prog for their first three)...
 
... but I might have specified bands with more than one album and a fairly high profile, or else I could've cited True Myth, Nucleus (a fave of mine), Bent Wind, Cargo, Spirit Of Christmas, Klaatu (that one escaped me, actuallyEmbarrassed), Lighthouse (escaped me too), Plastic Cloud, and a few more

FM > Saga > Max Webster. I'm just a tiny postscript in a battle between soap squash and microcomputer cups.

I like FM's Headroom (1978), and FM is the only possibility for my voting.

Max Webster over Triumph. That had to be a double bill here at some point.
The Rebel Wheel from Ottawa is a band I discovered just recently but are well worth mentioning. Not seventies though.

Since Rush is not an option here Wink it's Triumph all the way. For a time back in the 80s, my one/two bands were Rush and Triumph.

Better to be an Ontarian band than an Octogenarian band. I vote for Saga - for the over-fifties. Tongue

Yes, Neil's 78 now, so he's in his eighth decade with almost as many years in the music business. Long May He Run. Thumbs Up

CANO by far. Au nord de notre vie is super viby. A briliant pastoral prog-lite album sung in French so Canadian that even I can hear the accent. xD My fave song is the jazzy version of the nursery rhyme Frère Jacques.
