I agree. But saying people shouldn't have kids is basically reinforcing the cycle. Finding a way to make affording kids cheaper is not a bad thing. As it stands, where we're at, having a kid is becoming a luxury.
Every couple who chooses not to have a kid today means that we need 1-2 immigrants two decades from now. Keep this in mind.
Quebec is arguably the only province in Canada that understands this and has gone all out to make having kids cheaper and easier.

You think we're relying on immigration because more women don't have unintentional pregnancies anymore? I hope you have a daughter someday.
