11 Top Canadian Dividend Stocks Available as ADRs

hwood: Your list is reasonable from MO onwards. Those are all fairly safe stocks that are unlikely to cut dividends or inflict significant loss of capital on shareholders. But are you really comfortable when you look at the BAC balance sheet or the PFE pipeline?

Also, there's a difference between Canada and countries like BRIC. Canada is like USA North: our economies are intertwined, language and culture are the same (excepting Quebec and Tim Horton's vs. Dunkin Donuts), trade is almost entirely free, governments fairly similar, etc. If anything, I would say Canada is safer than the US and potentially higher-growth - if anything further goes wrong in the US, a lot of people will be thinking about moving to Canada, doing more business in the north, or leaning more heavily on them for the resources we need. The only thing Canada needs to be the next hot country is a little bit of global warming. If every place was 10 degrees hotter, British Colombia or New Brunswick would look a lot more appealing relative to Arizona and Florida.
