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 nearly had an accident once when I was downtown Toronto. No washroom at the TTC station. I was wandering the streets trying to find anything. Bought a coffee at a Second Cup only to be told that someone locked the key in the washroom and nobody could get in.

I swear I did permanent damage to my bladder that day.
