But yeah, in Ottawa, outside of the pandemic when washrooms were inaccessible, I'll say 50/50 balance between open to anyone and needing to ask for a key. Even in the suburbs some businesses have signs saying customers only.

The fear of not being able to find a toilet when needed keeps many people at home. I'll echo that bathrooms are a basic human right. This pic is at the hilltop fortress in Lisbon...very near the main entrance and right on the street.
