1) Canadians are waiting longer to have kids and get married.

The National Post reports that Statistics Canada found "young adults in
2001 were slower to grow up than their counterparts 30 years earlier."

  "In '71, you have three-quarters of 22-year-olds who have left school,
  half were married and one in four had children," Warren Clark, the
  report's author, said. "You move ahead 30 years to 2001 and half are
  still in school, only one in five are in a conjugal relationship [which
  is usually common-law] and one in 11 have kids."


2) G-rated movies are 11 times more profitable than R-rated movies.

  A study done in 2005 showed that G-rated movies are 11 times more profitable
  than R-rated movies, yet the industry cranks out 12-times more R-rated movies.

  Why is that?  It's obviously not because the public wants more R-rated
  movies. A theory I've heard is that directors are trying to win Academy
  Awards, and G-rated movies rarely win. Screw the public.
