Will winter weather and power outages lead to a baby boom in Greater Victoria?
Anecdotal evidence suggests yes, research says no.

Dr Zelkowitz quoted in Time Magazine article
Infertility is almost always thought of as a woman’s issue, and it’s true that women bear the greater burden of it.

More men are talking about it now, but it remains stigmatized, especially in the U.S. Men are largely absent from public conversation around infertility, and even those who have looked for support hesitate to identify as someone struggling with male infertility.
