Saskatchewan Finally Adds Women's Washroom

After 110 years, Saskatchewan’s legislature is finally getting a dedicated washroom for female politicians — a long-overdue step toward equality in a building that’s treated women as second-class since its 1912 opening. While men have enjoyed private facilities for decades, women have been forced to use cramped public restrooms, sparking frustration among female MPs and opposition leaders. A previous attempt years ago was poorly placed and unwelcoming. The new space, set to open by June, will mirror the men’s room’s historic marble design while adding family-friendly features like a changing table. Priced at $200K, the upgrade is seen as symbolic — and overdue — by advocates who’ve pushed for change for decades. It’s a reminder that even in governance, basic equity can take a century to catch up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
