I've tried, good lord knows I've tried.
But then they ask me what commonalities are shared apart from location and all I can say is Talent !

Kind of new around here, but here goes for Canadian:
Max Webster, Rush, FM, Nash the Slash,  early acoustic Bruce Cockburn  instrumentals, Joni Mitchell, Perth County Conspiracy are all very good.
Have a real hard time with some of the semi-progressive Canuck "stuff"...like: Klattu, Saga, Prism, Zon, Goddo and so many others.

Canoe ! which reminds me, I've just uploaded their albums Spirit of the North & Eclipse to my PC. I really must burn them to CD, and come back with some reviews.

 
You'll enjoy Eclipse, but Spirit Of Thge North is simply not them anymore.....  but their first two are the best and easiily obtauinable
 
BTW that's CANO  (four  upprcase letter) for Compagnie Artistique du Nouvel Ontario

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

Not prog, but close enough and I really think every progger should give them a chance:

Cano , Spirit of the North is a compilation done by Record execs hoping to break a bilingual group in English Canada. Three "new" songs that , as you say, were no longer Cano. Wish I could find Visible to see if they got back to their sound.

I came across L'Engoulevent. Then re-listened to Breche. And I'm starting to wonder if Garolou might not be a good candidate for PA.
And I wonder how serious Gooner is about Martha & the Muffins being prog. I'm gonna have to give a listen to their albums again. Especially the song - Swimming. "we're afraind to call it love, let's call it swimming" > Just love that guitar part.
