This Rob Carrick article lists the top 23 dividend companies in Canada and has a handy cahrt with ratios at the end.

Not sure if that’ll be behind a subscriber wall for you. email me if not.
There’s also Mergent’s Dividend Achievers list for Canada (although that doesn’t list specifics of dividend history: http://www.dividendachievers.com/Site/others/constituents.php?id=56&preview=

Thanks so much! The globe article *is* behind a subscriber wall unfortunately (I will email you). What is the exactly criteria for inclusion of the dividend Archievers? In the about they say that “48% of the constituents increased dividends for the 20 or more years”, any idea which 48%?
Thanks again!

The “overview” section of the Mergent list says the following: “To become eligible for inclusion in the Canadian Dividend Achievers
Index, a company must be incorporated in Canada, trade on a major Canadian exchange, and have increased its annual regular dividend payments for the last five or more consecutive years.”

Hi,
You can look the dividend history of Canadian stocks in finance yahoo website. Just use .to after quote to specify the TSX exchange. For example Rothmans would be roc.to
Example for Rothmans:

Very cool Anna, thanks! It only seems to go back to 1995 though (try BMO which has been paying dividends for over 100 years and set a date earlier then 95).
Any idea how to get older data?
Thanks again so much for the pointer!
