A brand-new Pew Research Center analysis is making waves after revealing that only 61% of 12th grade high school girls intend to get married some day — a 22-point drop from 1993 when 83% expressed interest in marriage.

Interestingly 12th grade boys stayed about the same: 74% expressed expectations for future marriage, compared to 76% in 1993.

For the first time ever in this dataset, high school boys are now more enthusiastic about marriage than girls.

Sixty one percent is still pretty good..

That number will probably
increase in ten years when the things that are most important to them change.

In 2014, the term "polar vortex" burst on the scene across Canada and the U.S. as temperatures plunged. In some places, it was colder than it was on Mars.

Well, get ready to hear more about it. Forecasters say parts of Western and Central Canada are about to feel the effects of the phenomenon that brings frigid weather in the coming weeks. And it could move to Eastern Canada.

A second man involved in a light-rail train accident on Montreal's South Shore has died.

Provincial police confirmed the 22-year-old's death on Sunday afternoon.

A 19-year-old man was also declared dead when first responders found him along the tracks early Saturday, near the train's Du Quartier station in Brossard.

Police say the accident happened around 3 a.m. Saturday, when three young men attempted to use the tracks to cross to the other side of Highway 10.

A third man, also 19-years-old, survived the accident.

The train network, the Réseau express métropolitain, acknowledged the incident in a post on social media on Saturday, writing that management was deeply saddened by what happened
