www.craigslist.com ?? Rual King has them by me for under $10 a barrel for the blue plastic ones. I don't think they are in canada.

Try a garden centre. They often have recycled barrels from the food industry that can be modified for rain barrels. Ours cost $20 Cdn. Bright blue in colour but they have worked great for 10 years with no sign of disintegrating.
