Meh, if it was still economically possible for a family to survive with only one breadwinner making the average wage in Canada we wouldn't have this problem.
Face it, unless one partner pulls in six figures a year, having even one kid is a financial drain that impacts your standard of living way worse than any car modding we might do <_<
Immigrants coming from poorer countries are still taking a leap upwards coming to Canada and making minimum wages and have learned years ago how to make do with less...
So in summary then, unless Canadians are willing to take the financial hit and live with it, our countries birthrate will in fact depend entirely on immigration...
