Continued: This new 'Civil' forum drives me nuts.
ECI an interesting name to look at although yield slightly below 5%. Telcos fine, e.g BCE. 
'Green' energy also - e.g. RNW, AQN.

But don't overlook U.S. dividend payers (unless they are  MLPs!). One way I boost my overall average yield is via U.S. BDCs (business development companies), e.g. MAIN (take a look at their investor presentation to learn a bit more if you're not familiar with these entities). Also ARCC and GSBD (join the big guys). Be aware though that I have a moderately high risk tolerance - and also have a somewhat atypical portfolio - 44 stocks but no Canadian banks.. 

I own all of the stocks mentioned.

Hope that that has provided some room for thought.
