Carbon steel is the best answer for pans.
But, if you’re looking for something cheap and functional, IKEA makes cookware that’s pretty underrated. Better than most of the stuff you’ll find at Canadian Tire IMO.
I wouldn’t bother with a set from anywhere, though. Figure out what you need/what you’d use, and invest in it piece by piece until you have a custom set that will last a lifetime. If you’re buying a well-made pot, for example, there should be no reason you’ll ever have to replace it from wear.
