Interesting. My rating order is: EMA,CPX,FTS,AQN.

We have done the best with CPX but I'm still a bit suspicious of them with their legacy Alberta coal and that's why EMA is tops. I like FTS quite a bit but the yield is always lower on it. AQN used to be my fav until Banskota took over from Robertson and acted like a BTO (Big Time Operator) growing for the sake of growing without doing his proper homework.

As an aside, we've held EMA since Jan, 2010, FTS since Aug, 2018, and CPX since Aug-Oct 2020 (as a replacement for dumping ALA after holding it for 10 years). This certainly shows our long term belief in utilities and we still are big believers.

Here's a table of total returns (ie: including dividends) from Morningstar as of today.

Great info, thanks Sarge !!
