let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Clearly the proggiest of those is  CANO, whose first three albums are pearls of Prog Folk, but I have a soft spot for FM's debut and the second Direct To Disc (don't care much for the rest)

All the others are not that much more than prog-related , but I did choose their proggier moments

More FM (that elusive second album for 35 years until the reissue a few years ago)

Rick Emmett is a very able guitarist and vocalist, but Triumph is not Prog in any fashion.

What about 'Symphonic Slam' (Timo Laine), He deserves a place on the list more than Triumph, Max Webster, Cano or A Foot in Cold Water IMHO.

But for this poll...Saga.

Neil Young. I don't give a damn if he's not "prog", as neither are some of those you listed. His career has been one long progression.

FM.  I have never understood how they could still be in prog related.  Their first 4 albums are prog, albeit in a crossover vein, and they were from 1977-1981 when a lot of prog band were no longer prog.

Love CANO also
