I'm with Garth, check your yoke angle. I've got Paul Touring cantis on one bike and feel they are very strong. In fact, just as strong as the V brakes on my other bikes.
Otherwise, check the angle of the pads and arms. On long arm cantis, I personally set up the brakes so when the pad hits, the arms and yoke are around 90 degrees. Pretty sure I starting using that from reading the Sheldon Brown article on canti setup.
