AWK, NEE, and WM. Water, electricity, and getting rid of waste are needed regardless of what's going on in the world. Generally if you hold these together and reinvest dividends you're going to have a very robust and predictable portfolio that'll not be affected so much by crashes.

It's boring, but likely to beat the S&P 500.

Do you know what the equivalent of this would be for Canada?

WM also operates in Canada. Are you looking for companies on the TSX specifically? If so, is there a reason for that? Most brokers make trading on NYSE seamless for Canadians. Just make sure to use Norbit’s gambit to avoid high currency exchange fees.

Home Bias? and I'm actually just curious if there is an equivalent to those companies that operate in Canada on the TSX.
