Any view here of big-name U.S. consumer staples stocks like J&J or P&G? How about related stocks like McDonalds or Walmart? All on my wish list for RRSPs/TFSA additions (don't want their dividends taxed like interest if non-registered).

Jon, as far as I know, foreign dividends will face a witholding tax within a TFSA.

In terms of consumer staples, I like JNJ, PG, MMM and WMT.

Here's what I own with regards to the US consumer sector,

CL, CPB, GIS, HZN, JNJ, KFT, KMB, KO, PG, SJM, WMT & WHR

I like MCD, just don't have room for it at the moment or willing to pay the market price.

In this area I own and like Clorox, PG, Diageo, and JNJ.

I also like Macdonalds and Pepsico.

I would argue that 3M and Whirlpool are not consumer staples.

We don't like large companies. They grow too slowly for us.
