I'd also have a look at your cables and casings. Sloppy, poorly cut or poorly seated housings will yield squishy brakes. Have a look at thise, as well.

Though I hate setting up canti brakes. Mini V-brakes, or classic V-brakes is what I always go for. Just make sure they work with the levers, or get the appropriate levers. On an old MTB I got 2nd hand V-brake levers and brakes - didn't want to mess with the cantis, no way!
