Are there any datasets available that give a list of latitude and longitude points for Canadian province boundaries? I don't need anything too detailed as I'm displaying collated data in smallish info graphics.

Alternatively CanVec is likely to be too detailed for you ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/
