In theory, yes. However other factors such as the shape of the drain, the shape of the toilet bowl, and any small initial motion in the water, usually completely overwhelm the coriolis effect. You would only be able to observe it under extremely carefully controlled conditions: extremely still water, and a completely symmetrical toilet bowl perfected to extreme, micron precision.
