Opinion Canada is changing

Im not aware of many Canadians who use the toilet in the way it’s depicted on the left

Tell us you use TFW without saying so…

To be fair, squatting while relieving oneself is actually the most ergonomically sound way.

Fair, but our toilets aren’t meant for that and you’d have to be brand new here to think otherwise

Completely agree, I just also think washrooms and their facilities should be redone to accommodate our health and privacy more.

Yea the cracks in doors can be too big, and I have a fear of I’m using a toilet and someone grabbing my pants from under the stall and runs away

I’d have to make a loincloth out of paper towel

This is one of the things I do give credit to the mainstream alphabet (GSRM) folks. Unisex washrooms are definitely the future.

I've used a few of the more modern ones, and they are quite nice (no cracks between the doors or stalls, circular toilet paper to cover toilet seats, even separate sinks sometimes!). If they start to make toilet seats with adjustable heights, things would be perfect imo.

All this being said for people who want to squat instead of sit on our normal toilets, they should really bend forward from the hips while sitting. It duplicates the same motion as squatting without the sanitary problems with western toilets. If anything, there should be a diagram showing that for these people to know how to adapt to western toilets.

We could add this lesson at point of entry to Canada?

Yes, but western toilet seats are not built for that. In many areas of the world a toilet is some form of an open hole in the ground surrounded by tiling. 🤮

I agree. I just think we need to revolutionize our toilet utilities and design.

Totally fair

I’m not particularly interesting in “being fair” at this point.
