Or you can buy a Gic with just under a 5% yield without risk. Keyera is over 6 %...

What's the term of that GIC?
Is it cashable at any time or locked-in until maturity?
If held outside a tax-sheltered account, you'll pay more income tax on the interest than you will on dividends.
GICs have their place in a diversified portfolio, so one can own both if they so desire even though, as you stated, stocks are riskier investments.

KEY is a midstream company, not a utility, so not a good comparison.

In the midstream space, I prefer ENB and TRP.
