Oh geez, there is a lot more than that, especially on the International Style (what I'd imagine most people typically think of as midcentury modernist) front. A lot of nice examples here:

That said, I don't think that Canada is a hotbed for brutalist architecture... there are many such buildings across the country but relatively few outstanding examples.
