This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Canadian Pacific Railway shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Canadian Pacific Railway's case, that would currently equate to about C$0.76 per share.
