In the last 10 months I have accumulated a link for just about every imaginable asset's quotes , but I have yet to find a decent site providing dividend announcements and, more importantly, the historical data (esp. Canada). Does anyone know of a good one?

Mathguy:

I picked up this bookmark on the advice of (surprise!) someone else on this site:
http://www.dividendinvestors.ca/

The Dividend Quote block on the left side is freely available. Click on the Dividends Paid Since link near the bottom for historical numbers going back about five years.

Bird Construction (BDT.un) did not increase its distribution as you wrote. It must be a mistake.

The monthly distribution has been increased, but at the end of 2007.
Another day, another dollar...
