Best place to buy sheet metal for body repair

I'm looking to do some rust repairs on my older car and was wondering if anyone knew a good source to purchase sheet metal for repairs.
I've checked Canadian Tire and it looks expensive and most of them are bent.
Any idea if there's a better shop to go to to source sheet metal and supplies (filler, etc.)?

Metal Supermarkets. 7 locations in GTA area. But if you really need bigger quantity, I recommend this type of business to end the misery ( auto wrecker)

Good deals and assortment at Lotus Metals. It’s in khlong luang district in Panthun Thani in Thailand. Highly recommended. I think it’s the closest one to your location

LOL very clever...I thought it would be assumed since the car is rusty that it is most likely from Toronto (GTA Area). Unfortunately the previous owner really treated it like a Toronto city car...barely washed and parked under a tree on the street. Hence the rust.

If you think Toronto is the rusty car capital of Canada, you likely have never been to the Maritimes!
