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).

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.

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 of the big reasons I love dividends so much.

I have a dividend blog as well and most of my readers are from the U.S. Perhaps we need to switch homes!<br/><br/>P.S. I really like your stock analysis format - any chance I can get a copy of the spreadsheet you use to generate it? Not sure why this is – but it is interesting nonetheless.
