Up here in the frozen North we have some Income Trusts. Pretty good yields altho you need to separate out your ROC from the income portion & they reduce your ACB after each distribution. Lotsa elderly folks have them cause interest rates are so crappy & the rest of us folks simply for the return. Some good ones are the Real Estate ones; perhaps REITS in the US.

With interest rates spiking out, I would be very careful about income stocks right now (especially REITS) unless you only want the income and don't care that they may be going through a short term free fall.
