## Resource

Ontario is pushing forward with a bold new bill to make menstrual products free in workplace washrooms, treating them like toilet paper—because if you get cut at work, there’s a first-aid kit, so why not when you’re on your period? With rising costs forcing one in six menstruators to choose between pads and groceries, this isn’t just about convenience—it’s about health, dignity, and survival, especially for low-income folks, students, and newcomers. Already, some businesses are leading the charge, seeing hygiene as a basic right and helping break the stigma. The goal? Expand this to schools and libraries too—because if Manitoba did it, why not Ontario? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
