Off the top of my head: PG, JNJ, MO, PM, PFE, LLY. Add to those some resource-based stocks that play a divvy and forget about them.
Then for additional risk, allocate a small part of your portfolio to AGNC or a similar play.

^Thanks for that.
Currently my online-savings account GIC offers a 1.75% GIC... I checked out the list that you provided, and alot of them still offer less than 1.2% (some <1%). What is AGNC though? I'm looking at it and I like it...
5% Dividends since 2009!... but it's only been up since that same time as well
