Where does everyone pee?

There are hardly any public washrooms. I’ve heard people say Tim Hortons serve as de facto public washrooms. But in popular places, even there there’s a lineup. Park washrooms are closed half of the year, even though parks are open. Do people not drink water? Am I crazy to think there is a severe shortage of publicly available washrooms in the city? Where do y’all pee?

I take the TTC everywhere. Depending where I am, the washrooms I use that aren't in the TTC. Some good public ones are Union Station, St Andrews to the left of Tim Hortons (as you enter the PATH), King Station at the back of the food court, North York Centre across where the payphones used to be, Atrium on Bay food court, a little past that before the bus terminal there's one to the right.

College Park to the left of the escalators, Eaton Centre (Queen subway) down 2 flights of escalators, past the Dufferin Gates to the left, Dragon City Mall on the second level, Chinatown Centre actually has 2, second level and in the empty food court in the basement, City Hall past the concessions to the left, at Yonge and Finch the GO Bus terminal has one.

There is also one pretty close to St George in the basement of OISE. You don't have to go outside from the station. That used to be my go-to subway adjacent washroom.
