demoTV presents Kevin Clarke debating
Kevin Clarke is debating with the other candidates in the February 1st York-South Weston by-election in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Kevin became homeless in 1998, after his small auto business failed and he's lived on the street, literally, since then.Over the last nine years, Kevin has become one of the most recognized homeless people on Toronto's downtown streets. Kevin is a spreader of the faith that each person is a treasure, worthy of respect, love and housing. He preaches on abuse of authority, the role individuals can play in curbing the path of social decay through acceptance and the importance of homes rather than services that encourage dependency.
I still don't understand how people like Kevin survive sleeping outside for years and remain whole. I ask him to tell me in practical terms how he stayed warm and didn't get hurt or die. Although he makes references to the aches and pains he feels "day by day in his bones," likely an outcome of the years of cold and damp, Kevin says that his survival, both physical and emotional, depended on people who interacted with him as a person, offering him food, conversation, supplies and respect.
