5i Research Answer:

Of the ETFs listed we would be quite comfortable holding these in the current environment. They are not risk free, and would be vulnerable if inflation and rates rise. However we would expect continued ongoing high income nonetheless. We cannot comment on position sizing but we would be fine buying any of these today. XBB can also be suggested as a general Canadian bond ETF (3.31% yield).
