Once you own the house you live in, it takes about 2 million to generate sufficient income to support yourself without having to be employed. To live well, you need to have about 10 million invested in income generating investments.
Support = enough to pay tax, food and utilities
Well = enough to pay tax, food, utilities, hobbies and vacation trips
Here are two sites that talk only about investing for income. Both pages have links to the resources the blogger uses.

When you are investing for income, you have to fully investigate the company you are investing in. What you want to be able to do is be confident that you will only have to review your holdings every three months. Why? Because that's when the CRA is going to want your quarterly tax pre-payment. Traveling to physically inspect the facilities/plant/actual existence of a potential investment is tax deductible. Since it costs you nothing to do your due diligence, it's inexcusable not to.
