Canadian Prog Bands Not Called Rush...

[Shamus Nym]

I remember CHUM fm playing Swinghammer. It's not prog.

Also Dave Howard Singers (one guy) with strange lyrics and lots of cheap modified Acetone organ with real cutting edge.
The Road Warrior - remember that one?

[smcfee]

These are purportedly prog. (I'm not entertaining much hope.)
Can anyone elaborate?:

Mock Duck

Also dates would help. (If any are non-70's, that would tell me a lot.)

Jazzy psych from the late 60s. The first track "Home Made Jam" is the longest and best.

CHUM FM, really? I know he did a lot of singer/songwriter stuff with Ron Sexsmith and such but this has got to give him some proggy cred - from Wiki
"Kurt's next album was Vostok 6 – an elaborate electronic-oriented song cycle about Valentina Tershkova, the Russian cosmonaut who was the first woman in space." But I could be mistaken.

Sledgehammer - Progressive rock/avant metal from Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Sledgehammer’s music is intended to be an avant-garde form of technically sound yet marketable metal/prog/rock. The instrumentation alone speaks volumes and in ways forces undeniable unique characteristics to be brought out in the music

Dominic Troiano - The jokes on me, great prog/fusion album from the legendary ex-guess who and James Gang guitarist.

Yes, that's a fine album, produced by Terry Brown. Too bad there are so less CD-versions from Troiano's albums.

Just noticed Strange Advance have released a fourth album (called "4"): https://www.strangeadvance.com/

Strange Advance Live 2020


(Of course I know this band only because Allan Holdsworth played on one of their albums.)

[Progbear]

I have Strange Advance’s Worlds Away. Kind of like the CanCon answer to Vienna-era Ultravox. Not prog, but excellent synth-pop with great tunes and splendid arrangement (including the most Mellotron on any synth-pop album by anyone not named Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark).

[Enidi]

Conventum, Harmonium, and Miriodor are my favorites
