Another possible factor is economics--Canada is severely in trouble in that regard.
My husband and I married 10 years ago and were emotionally ready for kids then but we waited because we were never doing well enough financially to feel like the risk was worth it. (I should say, that was his feeling, not mine, but I did agree that it would be nice to raise kids in better financial circumstances than what I grew up in.) It was only when I lost my job because of mandates--the job that was supposed to change all that for us and allow us to finally start a family--that we decided screw it, we're just going to try regardless our money situation because we're running out of time.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are plenty of couples who feel in the same boat as we did for years, now that Canada's economy is doom-spiralling and more people are hurting.
Personal anecdote: I know two women, both jabbed, who have recently had healthy babies. One was a high-risk pregnancy but I'm pretty sure a lot of those issues are from stuff pre-jab--she'd been dealing with fertility issues for years already.
