Hi,

The Quickmap plugin is indeed full of data specially if you add the extra 
providers in the plugin settings.  Most importantly, it gives you an idea of 
who is giving what data. After that, you can find the original data (much more 
useful) from the provider.  I do the same thing with wms.  If you google ,for 
example, “wms Canada nrcan”, you will find many links to various servers 
providing wms layers.  After that, you can search for  the original data 
sources from these providers.  

It could also help if you specify the region you are working on.
Cheers!
Nicolas
