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.

That's still a helluva lot of dead turkeys.

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.

I doubt those women will be wife material by then.

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

This was in London Ontario.

The media is losing it over this but look the other way when pro Hamas demonstrations are held on university campuses.

QuoteWhy experts say a white nationalist rally in London, Ont., this past weekend won't be the last

An apparent white nationalist demonstration on a busy overpass near London, Ont.'s downtown on Sunday afternoon is concerning for witnesses and experts who track extremist behaviour.

The scene has stuck with Londoner Dave Vermue, who was driving along Horton Street when he says he saw roughly 30 men standing at attention, masked and wearing black, waving flags on the Wortley Road overpass.

"I thought there were Boy Scouts on top of the bridge until I passed underneath, and saw what it was," said Vermue, who captured footage of the demonstration on his vehicle's dash camera. "I immediately thought of stormtroopers from Nazi Germany."

From that overpass, the group displayed a banner reading "remigration now," alongside the Canadian Red Ensign flag, the flag of Ontario and the flag of the white supremacist nationalist group Second Sons Canada, which claimed to have organized the gathering on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Second Sons is led by Jeremy MacKenzie, who also founded Diagolon, an "extremist militia-like organization," according to the RCMP. Earlier this year, he filmed himself making a Hitler salute in a video shared on Telegram.

The group is one of several "active clubs" CBC News has investigated — white nationalists that organize combat training to prepare for what anti-hate researchers say is a belief in an imminent race war.

Groups like Second Sons almost always obscure their faces and identifying features like tattoos, in some cases using Nazi symbols to that end.

The "remigration now" message brought to London, like many of the mottos used by these groups, is designed to appear less extreme than it is, according to Hazel Woodrow. She's the education program manager for the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN), which studies white nationalism in Canada.

Woodrow said it's also more subtle than banners reading "mass deportations now" displayed by Nationalist-13, a distinct active club that held demonstrations and training in London and St. Thomas this year.
