In Canada we are taxed extremely high(even more in the province of Quebec, where I live). The only way to create the best returns are through canadian equities(capital gains are taxed the best, the second is dividend income). Anybody who wants to retire early must invest in some form of canadian equities. Unless they have a pension (which most younger people don't).

Derek Foster, a canadian who after working for a number of years in regular jobs decided to quit job and live off the dividends, wrote and published a very famous and influencial book "Stop Working".

In addition to that he was active in the moneysense forums that were hosted at Canadian Business website. The thread discussing his method, its moral implications and his book was the

Peter: Ok, it is starting to make sense now. The tax advantage would certainly make a difference. Until the U.S. Congress lowered the tax on qualified dividends to 15%, the popular media here was extremely anti-dividends. Thanks for your insight!

Well, one big reason why dividend investing is so popular in Canada is the Canadian tax credit that we get to take advantage of. In the lower tax brackets we actually get more money in tax credits than we pay in tax ... so $100 of dividends give $105 dollars after tax! The dividends have to be from publicly traded Canadian corporations to qualify though. Anyway, that's one big reason ... and one

So true! I just recently started my own blog about dividends. I hadn't really looked around for other dividend related blogs, but over the last week or so I have discovered that the most popular ones come from Canadians.

Not sure why this is - but it is interesting nonetheless. I have a dividend blog as well and most of my readers are from the U.S. Perhaps we need to switch homes!

P.S. I really like your stock analysis format - any chance I can get a copy of the spreadsheet you use to generate it?

MG: I didn't mean to infer there were not any good U.S. based sites. Just proportionally to the two countries populations, there seems to be more in Canada on a per capita basis.

That's interesting, but I would be surprised if there weren't any good U.S. based blogs on these types of topics. Also I believe you chicken or the egg thought probably has some truth to it.
