It's from an American rather than Canadian perspective, but you may find it interesting.

I talk about that in my essay on cohabitation. Taxation may be another factor deterring some people from marriage. But then of course society is getting more liberal. Marriage is no longer a prerequisite for having regular "licit" sexual relations or for having children. So I think the so-called decline of marriage is due to a number of factors.
