I think that is a feature of the canvas and its underlying code.
I can't see any anti-aliasing features although you can of course
render it as a smooth line, and mess around with the splines settings,
but I don't think that will help in this case if it's a single straight 
line.

This might be an area where OpenGL or another toolkit might help.
If its part of a graphic then generating the graphic as an image and
loading the image into the canvas might work better.

HTH,
