I’m having a hard time finding a good online source for NTS maps. I know I once had a good source, but can’t find the site. Anyone have a good current source?

I would use CalTopo where you can easily print out map sections at any scale and size that you want. You can add waypoints and other info before you print.
If you want full size copies of the old Canada Topo's the government no longer prints them but there are third-party services that can.
You can find a few of them on this page, pretty sure there are others.

Which ones are you looking for?
Try this one: https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/vector/index/index_pdf/,and https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/canmatrix2/ You can download full maps and (maybe?) print them at a printer. A friend formats them for more reasonable printing in Photoshop.

I just placed an order with GoTrekkers. I found their website a bit mystifying but finally got it. Their mailing address is Laronge and their office to pick up maps is in Missinipe. I could have stopped at both had I known when I did the Cree.
Im looking for the Armstrong 1:50,000 NTS map. Seems to be unavailable from World of Maps, Maptown, etc. Sad if paper topo map products are going away.
Not gone away just switched to Print On Demand, nobody wants to stock all 22,000 1:50 topos in pre-printed form. Even just the popular ones would be several thousand.
"Armstrong" is the name of the 1:250,000 topo map sheet 52J.
All 16 of the 1:50,000 topo map sheets in the 52J area - none of which is named "Armstrong" - are listed on the map world website here:
They are also available free online using the sites referenced by Mason above.
