Territory boundaries

The territories either didn't respond or responded negatively to requests for shapefiles ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). Google has boundaries, uploaded by James Swansburg, CTO of Landmax Canada, a real estate brokerage, but these don't correspond to electoral boundaries. CloudMade has OpenStreetMap-based boundaries, but the *.shapefiles.zip files seem to be useless.
