Do you think public pay toilets are a good idea?

[CBC News]

Toronto is moving ahead with its plan to put a new generation of public toilets on city streets, despite the dismal experience an American city had with the same conveniences.

Ah what's up Karrie? How come the necessity to unload oneself is any less necessary in North American cities? I would have thought that our disgusting diets would make those evacuations all the more frequent and that in turn would necessitate greater facilitys for this purpoe.

lol... the thing is that we have tons of facilities, and most are wide open... businesses don't guard them like they do in Europe. Paris was eye opening as to how lucky we are over here. There you use the facilities only if you're a customer. Many washrooms in public parks and tourist centers charge, despite being 'public'.
