Denmark has been making progress on the fertility issue since 1980s. Got to 1.9 about a decade ago, so maybe we can get to 2.1 in next upswing?pic.twitter.com/fzBT9RfhKX

I don't know Quebec, but I have my fingers crossed that the leave+daycare allows more educated (ie intelligent) women to have more than zero kids while working. Not sure what else can achieve that goal.
Rulers in the past have succeeded in increasing fertility. What were their methods? Does banning contraception work? Does removing sex education work? These are not first on the list of things secular people are looking for, but they might work. I'd try aggressive tax benefits.

"Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has promised that women who have four or more children will never pay income tax again, in a move aimed at boosting the country’s population."
-
"He also promised favourable mortgage terms for families with multiple children, support for families with three or more children to buy a car, and increased funding for daycare centres and kindergartens."

Is that now or already been tried? That's basically stuff I would try. Hungary doesn't have toxic feminism, or massive issues with immigrants, their biggest problem is national decline linked to low fertility.

Communist Romania tried banning abortion & contraception. IIRC there were positive effects, but they were only temporary.

Throughout history, birth rates have been responsive to housing prices. The net effect of fractional reserve lending + unlimited foreign investment has been to allow housing prices to rise independent of wage growth.

In Georgia
(the country), it seems that Patriarch Ilia II of the Georgian Orthodox Church managed to single-handedly increase the fertility rate above replacement level:https://eurasianet.org/georgias-baby-boom-and-the-union-of-church-and-birthrate … -
Israel is the only First World country w/ above-replacement fertility that I'm aware of – although France isn't far off; also, Australia + NZ used to have near-replacement fertility until a few years ago.
