Update 2:
Lead: Divorce data shows the number of divorces are on the decline in Canada.

Explanation: My initial data analysis shows that divorce rates have fluctuated from 2015 to 2020 but have been going down in recent years. The number of divorces significantly went down from 2019 to 2020. I couldn't help but think that this has to do with the Covid-19 pandemic as courts were closed during that time. It will be interesting to see the correlation between the length of the marriages and the number of divorces.

Explanation: This story is relevant to my dataset as it shows that the divorce rate in Canada was significantly lower in 2020 stating that, "The first year of the Covid-19 pandemic saw the fewest divorces in Canada since 1973, but according to Statistics Canada, that low figure may be tied to public health measures."
