"...married couple should be forced to have children."  All the birth control stuff mentioned here: religious-based doctrine aided and abetted by government.  It went further in Quebec.  Again: heavy Roman Catholic influence, church used the state to further its (no-abortion/big family) aims. 

This craziness, from something called Interim, Canada's life and family newspaper: 1992: "Quebec has its share of bad policies which hurt family life. The same accommodating attitudes toward abortion, homosexuality and secularism prevail [as in the rest of Canada.]"  

Think about that.  And then: "...this province, once known for its big families, must now resort to incentives to encourage couples to have more than one or two children." Hilarious, because even in the (really historic) 1990s, there was no "must now resort." To keep French culture alive, the Quebec government PAID people to have kids in the 1940s-1950s era of Premier Duplessis.
