A load of road maps

I haven't quite gone full out digital yet. I know it's the year 2011, but I'm dragging my heels a bit when it comes to maps...

I've been able to order complimentary road maps from 8 of the 10 provinces.
Getting a paper map of Quebec required me to pay to order it off their tourism site (it seems tourism in this province is organized and funded region by region... so getting a map is a bit more complicated).
Getting a paper map of Alberta is as of yet a complete failure. I've searched their tourism and transportation sites. I've emailed them to see if any of their complimentary travel guides include a map, but so far it seems like the answer is no. I may end up buying an Alberta map as well.

(Update: The email reply from Travel Alberta was helpful, to say the least. An Alberta road map is on its way!)

Provincial tourism websites offering complimentary paper roadmaps:
British Columbia (Update: the website let me order a complimentary map but it never arrived.)
Alberta (Update: the website doesn't seem to offer a map, but you can get one by emailing them.)
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
Ontario
Quebec
New Brunswick
Prince Edward Island
Nova Scotia
Newfoundland & Labrador
