Apparently, Canada was a leader in graphic design and typology during this age. I have no idea who the big players were in that age but Canada consistently pumped out high-quality graphics and typology in the 60s and 70s and was a world leader. Also amazing to think this was all done by hand back in those days, maybe that was a reason it forced restraint in the design process.
