 like, you're gonna want         a consistent heat source         181 00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:52,331  unless you're going to          be somewhere that's warm.        182 00:13:52,431 --> 00:13:54,867 And I guess, the shelters           that I'm building,            183 00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:57,636   these are designed to           be heated by your body.         184 00:13:57,736 --> 00:13:58,704 It's like,                       185 00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:01,640 they will have somewhere         that's consistently warm.        186 00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:02,942  - [Program Manager] This        is, you know, like I said,       187 00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:05,611  the first of hopefully many      conversations where we can try  188 00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:08,848  to figure out where              this partnership lies,          189 00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:09,949 if there is a partnership.       190 00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:11,951  And I really hope that there is 191 00:14:12,051 --> 00:14:14,286  because I think that what       you're doing is really cool      192 00:14:14,386 --> 00:14:16,989  and innovative and              I think that we need             193 00:14:17,089 --> 00:14:18,490 that kind of innovation.         194 00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:19,892 - Ah.                            195 00:14:19,992 --> 00:14:20,926 - [Zach] What do you think?      196 00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:24,296 - I was surprised by how          long winded they were.          197 00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:26,298 I thought they'd                 be more concise.                 198 00:14:27,266 --> 00:14:28,667  - Okay.                         - A little more.                 199 00:14:45,651 --> 00:14:48,220  (phone dinging)                 200 00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:52,057 (melancholic piano music)        201 00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:18,284 The City of Toronto               therefore demands               202 00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:21,921  that you immediately cease      the production, distribution,    203 00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:26,025 supply and installation of       such shelters on city property.  204 00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,526 - [CBC Journalist] The city      didn't respond to requests       205 00:15:27,626 --> 00:15:29,161 for comment from CBC News.       206 00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,697  Its letter did say,              "If the shelters remain         207 00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:34,166 on public property, legal         action could be taken."         208 00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:36,535 - You know,                      209 00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:38,037 what happened when someone       gets into a shelter              210 00:15:38,137 --> 00:15:40,706 and then they get                evicted for violating            211 00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:43,042  whatever restrictions and then, 212 00:15:43,142 --> 00:15:45,711 they leave the shelter and        they don't have anything.       213 00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:47,046 Like, all of their                 stuff is gone.                 214 00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:49,815 Like, what actually              happens to those people?         215 00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:51,817 It's been surprise,              216 00:15:51,917 --> 00:15:54,386 considering they sent            me an earlier email,             217 00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:55,955 discussing a partnership,        218 00:15:56,055 --> 00:15:59,091 but I understand that there's    quite a bit of disconnection     219 00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:02,594 between different departments       in the City of Toronto.       220 00:16:02,695 --> 00:16:06,932  - I've always opposed this      kind of structure or solution    221 00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:09,735  and in the last month,          222 00:16:09,835 --> 00:16:12,271 I've done a complete 360         223 00:16:12,371 --> 00:16:17,276 because I really feel that       city is failing drastically      224 00:16:18,544 --> 00:16:21,313 and that this is a               lifesaving measure.              225 00:16:21,413 --> 00:16:24,383   - Lastly, I just wanna         ask why you're doing this?       226 00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:27,920  - [Maisonneuve Journalist]      You mentioned how, you know,     227 00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:29,355  part of the reason               why you do what you do          228 00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:32,424 or at least feel                  motivated to do that is         229 00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:34,860  because you've                  experienced homelessness         230 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,295 to a certain degree yourself.    231 00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:37,763 And I was wondering              232 00:16:37,863 --> 00:16:40,599 if you would be comfortable       talking more about that.        233 00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:42,801  - I stayed in this              tent for five months             234 00:16:42,901 --> 00:16:46,605  during the winter of Vancouver. 235 00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:48,073 In Vancouver and,                236 00:16:49,274 --> 00:16:50,642 yeah, it was interesting.        237 00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:53,812 It was just something             I never did before              238 00:16:53,912 --> 00:16:55,314 and                              239 00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:56,515  it was just surprising,         240 00:16:56,615 --> 00:16:58,951 the challenges that                sort of came up                241 00:16:59,051 --> 00:17:03,889  that I didn't really anticipate  and just, yeah, living,         242 00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:07,893  just finding a way to live       and still work and save money.  243 00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:09,828  I figured I'd be able to do it  244 00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:12,831  in a fashion that I was         comfortable enough to do.        245 00:17:12,931 --> 00:17:16,001 But it was one of                the most challenging             things I've ever did,            246 00:17:16,101 --> 00:17:16,869  I've ever done.                 247 00:17:23,175 --> 00:17:25,377 (melancholic music)              248 00:17:52,971 --> 00:17:53,872

- Yeah. It's pretty                shitty though.                 254 00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:23,368  - [Inquirer] Yeah. So I         was talking to my friend         255 00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:25,404

I've been putting in.            307 00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:22,781  Hello?                          308 00:21:23,515 --> 00:21:24,716  Yeah, someone's been using it.  309 00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:33,358  That's amazing.                 310 00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:33,692 That's fucking cool.             311 00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:37,596 And they've been painting.       312 00:21:42,067 --> 00:21:43,935 I'm happy about that.            313 00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:44,569  There's no latch or              lock or anything on it.         314 00:21:47,372 --> 00:21:48,640 It could be coming back.         315 00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:54,780  Cool. (laughs)                  316 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,148 Good news.                       317 00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:57,416 There. You guys wanna go?        318 00:21:57,516 --> 00:21:58,917  - [Zach] So where               you built the shop?              319 00:21:59,017 --> 00:21:59,384 - This is where I built it.      320 00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:02,554  Someone is using this.          321 00:22:05,223 --> 00:22:06,491  That's so nice.                 322 00:22:56,174 --> 00:22:57,209 - [Radio News Announcer]          Let's move on to a story about  323 00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:59,378   a man that we had on the       show at 4:45 this afternoon.     324 00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:01,546   He's a carpenter. His          name's Khaleel Seivwright        325 00:23:01,646 --> 00:23:05,317 and he's the guy who built       some Toronto Tiny Shelters.      326 00:23:05,417 --> 00:23:06,251   These are places for            people with no housing          327 00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:08,653 to be comfortable                during the cold weather.         328 00:23:08,754 --> 00:23:10,322  He's built some in city parks.  329 00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:11,990  He's done a GoFundMe for this.  330 00:23:12,090 --> 00:23:14,092   It's been overwhelming,        the support that he's got.       331 00:23:14,192 --> 00:23:15,127 He was on the show today         332 00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:16,928 and he said that he heard          from the city twice.           333 00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:18,463  The first time he heard         from the city was saying,        334 00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:19,765 "What a great idea,              335 00:23:19,865 --> 00:23:21,900 maybe we can do some             type of partnership."            336 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,869 And then he said the second      correspondence that he got,      337 00:23:23,969 --> 00:23:25,070  in the form of an                email was telling him,          338 00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:28,006 you know, to basically cease     and desist. And if he didn't,    339 00:23:28,106 --> 00:23:30,776 he'd be then charged with        the cost for tearing down        340 00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,445 these structures. I'm wondering  if this story came across        341 00:23:33,545 --> 00:23:35,380 your desk and what               your thoughts were.              342 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,448 - [Mayor Tory] Yes, and look,    343 00:23:36,548 --> 00:23:39,384 we are seized of the              homelessness issue.             344 00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:42,821 We've already been successful    at moving 1100 people            345 00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:43,955 out of encampments,              346 00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:46,258 which I think most people          find to be not a safe          347 00:23:46,358 --> 00:23:49,094  or a proper answer               into permanent housing          348 00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:50,095  or alternative housing.         349 00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:52,964 There's about 400 people         left in encampments              350 00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:54,766 and what is proposed here is      to build these structures,      351 00:23:54,866 --> 00:23:57,569  which the fire department,      not me and not the activists.    352 00:23:57,669 --> 00:24:00,705 I mean, if I had a               choice between advocates         353 00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:02,374 as much as I respect              the role they play              354 00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:03,575  and the fire department           in telling us                  355 00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:05,243 what's safe and what isn't.      356 00:24:05,343 --> 00:24:06,445   They say these                 structures are made              357 00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,747 out of very unsafe material.     It's very flammable.             358 00:24:08,847 --> 00:24:11,016 The second thing that            has that is clear is             359 00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:12,284 they're not going to be ideal    360 00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:14,820  from the standpoint of            other kinds of safety          361 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,154 and sanitation issues            362 00:24:16,254 --> 00:24:19,558  because they're little, you     know, little structures that,    363 00:24:19,658 --> 00:24:21,426  and then the third               issue is whether or not         364 00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:23,428  it is going to be                just deemed acceptable          365 00:24:23,528 --> 00:24:25,931  for us to be having             those put up in parks            366 00:24:26,031 --> 00:24:28,533 where people choose to put        those kinds of things up.       367 00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:38,777 (Khaleel laughs)                 368 00:24:38,877 --> 00:24:40,412  - [Khaleel] That's funny, yeah. 369 00:24:40,512 --> 00:24:41,947 - [Zach] And then                you can put this                 370 00:24:42,047 --> 00:24:43,081 in your pocket if you want.      371 00:24:43,181 --> 00:24:43,582 - [Interviewee] Okay.            372 00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:45,116  - [Zach] Okay.                  373 00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:45,951 Alright.                         374 00:24:48,553 --> 00:24:51,256 - [Khaleel] So how is staying      in the tiny shelter made       375 00:24:51,356 --> 00:24:52,157 a difference for you?            376 00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:54,993  - It's warmer.                  377 00:24:55,093 --> 00:24:56,061 Yes. It's like a,                378 00:24:57,929 --> 00:25:01,166  just fair, it's like I          felt the floor is better         379 00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:03,201  than the tent.                  380 00:25:03,301 --> 00:25:06,638  You know, the feeling is just,  381 00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:07,539 the whole feeling is better       than I thought, you know.       382 00:25:07,639 --> 00:25:09,374 At the beginning I                thought maybe we,               383 00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:12,377  it's no fresh air or something, 384 00:25:12,477 --> 00:25:15,614  but actually, it's quite good.  385 00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:20,051 (Dorothy and Khaleel laughs)     386 00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:21,720 - When I first got here,         387 00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:24,990 I used to wake up shivering      in the middle of the night.      388 00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:29,361 Every few hours I have to        go around and walk for like,     389 00:25:29,461 --> 00:25:31,663 however long until I             got my body heat back up         390 00:25:31,763 --> 00:25:34,833 just to fall asleep              again, wake up cold again.       391 00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:38,803 I have not had a single night      shivering in this house.       392 00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:41,506 Every night,                     393 00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:47,212 I sleep like a baby                and ever since,                394 00:25:47,312 --> 00:25:47,812  so I have problems with         395 00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:52,817 psychosis and things like        that when I stop sleeping        396 00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:56,488    and when I'm under            immense amounts of stress        397 00:25:56,588 --> 00:25:59,724   and all the rest of it.        And when I have this place,      398 00:25:59,824 --> 00:26:02,394    all my stress                 started to go down.              399 00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:03,828 I've been getting                back into a routine.             400 00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:06,865 I've been sleeping solid         hours every single night,        401 00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:11,903 going to bed, waking up and       I just feel more healthy,       402 00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,206 more like, I just can            actually have a life             403 00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:16,608 and a routine and not            always having to be,             404 00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,777 feel like I have to              fight for my life.               405 00:26:18,877 --> 00:26:22,681   - Like I haven't               always lived homeless            406 00:26:22,781 --> 00:26:26,217 so I know what it's like         to own property and stuff        407 00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:27,152  and it's a lot of work.         408 00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:29,220 There's people think                like the people               409 00:26:29,321 --> 00:26:30,455  that have got all this           money and whatnot,              410 00:26:30,555 --> 00:26:32,223 their big houses and they         don't do nothing like,          411 00:26:32,324 --> 00:26:35,594  but really, it's a lot of work   to take care of that stuff.     412 00:26:35,694 --> 00:26:38,463 And like even though it's        a small version of that,         413 00:26:38,563 --> 00:26:39,497 it's my small version of it      414 00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,033  and I feel the same              way about it, you know,         415 00:26:42,133 --> 00:26:46,972  so I like, find myself like      cleaning up the yard and like,  416 00:26:47,072 --> 00:26:49,274 just making little               improvements here and there      417 00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:51,176 and decorating and you know,     418 00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:52,944 and just makes you                feel more normal,               419 00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:59,884 more of a normal                    person. Normalizes             things and just, yeah,          420 00:26:59,985 --> 00:27:00,919 it's just, I don't know.         421 00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:01,052  It feels good.                  422 00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:04,656 - This is all I own.             423 00:27:04,756 --> 00:27:07,759 This is all I have               but this is my home              424 00:27:07,859 --> 00:27:08,927 and I'm in a great               country that I love              425 00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:15,467  and I've been under             the circumstances of              COVID and pandemic.             426 00:27:16,501 --> 00:27:18,069  This is my shelter box,         427 00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:20,305  this is where I am and this is    what I have and this is good.  428 00:27:20,405 --> 00:27:21,272  It's the best thing              that has ever happened          429 00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:24,476 because it's safe                against all the elements,        430 00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:27,946 even the physical elements.      431 00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:28,480 Yeah.                            432 00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:29,814 The nasty people.                433 00:27:31,616 --> 00:27:33,451 Want to come and bang your       door in the middle of the night  434 00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:36,154 and rip your tent.               435 00:27:36,254 --> 00:27:37,589 This one,                        436 00:27:37,689 --> 00:27:39,424   if they hit it, they can       hit it as hard as they like.     437 00:27:39,524 --> 00:27:41,593  But I'm okay in there.          438 00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:44,129    Just zip my mouth and         I'll be up in the morning.       439 00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:49,067 (melancholic music)              440 00:28:31,276 --> 00:28:32,310 - [Zach] What are                the comments like                441 00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:33,645 on the testimonials video?       442 00:28:33,745 --> 00:28:35,480  - Oh, just lots of weird shit.  443 00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:36,581 Just lots of yuppie              shit. I don't know.              444 00:28:36,681 --> 00:28:38,183 - [Zach] Like what?              445 00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:42,087  - This is gonna bring down the   value of my house. (laughs)     446 00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:44,389 Like, all these homeless people  living across the street.        447 00:28:46,157 --> 00:28:47,659 - [Zach] Really?                 448 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,227 They're saying that?                - Yeah.                       449 00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:50,662  You know and it's just            like so interesting.           450 00:28:50,762 --> 00:28:54,232 I like seeing the negative       comments more than anything      451 00:28:54,332 --> 00:28:55,834 because it's just                 so interesting.                 452 00:28:55,934 --> 00:28:57,402  It's like, yeah, that's           your biggest concern.          453 00:28:57,502 --> 00:28:59,771

Janie Romoff, threatening        the removal of tiny shelters     532 00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,023 that are currently being used     by people living in parks.      533 00:33:12,123 --> 00:33:12,924 And I ask                        534 00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:16,461 that the city council step in    535 00:33:16,561 --> 00:33:19,430 and direct Parks and Recreation  to support this initiative

538 00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:28,539  The most immediate and            direct way, I think,           539 00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:31,175 city council can support         this initiative is               540 00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:33,344  by issuing a moratorium         541 00:33:33,444 --> 00:33:37,582 on Municipal By-law Chapter        608, Section 13 and 14.        542 00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:39,650  Again,                          543 00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:44,989 I think there is a lack of       awareness about the safety,      544 00:33:45,089 --> 00:33:47,692 design and functionality         of these shelters.               545 00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:51,996 So I'll take a moment              to reiterate and               also talk about them.            546 00:33:53,164 --> 00:33:54,999 I'd like to mention as well      547 00:33:55,099 --> 00:33:57,001 that there has been a            document made public             548 00:33:57,101 --> 00:34:00,805 for my deputation showing        49,000 people have signed        549 00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:03,174  a petition agreeing             that there should be             550 00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:05,376  a moratorium on the same bylaws 551 00:34:05,476 --> 00:34:09,113  for the safety of those living   in encampments. Thank you.      552 00:34:11,482 --> 00:34:13,918 - Let me see whether or not      there are any questions of you.

I'm just wondering whether       or not fire has had              563 00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:52,123   an opportunity to maybe        take a look at those units       564 00:34:52,223 --> 00:34:53,224 and if so,                       565 00:34:53,324 --> 00:34:56,527 what exactly is the thought         consideration of fire         566 00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:58,596    with respect to these

number of encampment fires,      574 00:35:16,514 --> 00:35:18,616  is that these, these structures 575 00:35:18,716 --> 00:35:22,987  that are being                  constructed are not safe         576 00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:25,756   and they're not                designed for people              577 00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:28,226  to live in them in the outside. 578 00:35:28,326 --> 00:35:30,928

which he avoided answering.      611 00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:58,216 He made a point of.              612 00:36:58,316 --> 00:36:59,383 - [Michael] Mr. Seivwright.      613 00:36:59,483 --> 00:37:00,985   - Yes?                         - I wonder                       614 00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:02,787  if you could speak to the        issue that we're dealing with.  615 00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:07,158  It's the Toronto Rent Bank      and if an eviction prevention    616 00:37:07,258 --> 00:37:08,359 in the community.                617 00:37:08,459 --> 00:37:09,727  That's the issue that we're     dealing with at this moment.     618 00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:14,699 Sir, you have had                the opportunity to               express your opinion             619 00:37:14,799 --> 00:37:18,536 on the units that you built        on the previous issue.         620 00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:21,172   What's in front                of us is eviction.               621 00:37:21,272 --> 00:37:22,373 If you could speak to that,      that would be very helpful, sir. 622 00:37:22,473 --> 00:37:23,708    Thank you.                    - I'll continue to speak         623 00:37:23,808 --> 00:37:26,911   to that because this            is extremely relevant,          624 00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:29,747  considering how many people     are being evicted right now.     625 00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:33,684  But I think it's                also very relevant,              626 00:37:33,784 --> 00:37:36,520 considering these people          will be possibly living         627 00:37:36,621 --> 00:37:38,923  in these tiny shelters           that, you know,                 628 00:37:39,023 --> 00:37:39,924   there was not a fire            safety inspection done          629 00:37:40,024 --> 00:37:43,427 on these shelters by             Jim Jessop or anyone             630 00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,062 from the fire department.        631 00:37:45,162 --> 00:37:48,566 And for you to say that they      are definitely not safe is      632 00:37:48,666 --> 00:37:51,702  a complete lie. That's          an inaccurate statement.         633 00:37:51,802 --> 00:37:53,738    So I would like a fire        safety inspection to be done     634 00:37:53,838 --> 00:37:57,742   and for you to see the         results of this inspection.      635 00:37:57,842 --> 00:37:58,943 You know, on a side note,        636 00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:02,813 to however many people are       going to be winding up homeless  637 00:38:02,913 --> 00:38:03,881 this winter.                     638 00:38:03,981 --> 00:38:05,549 The people I'm providing         that shelter for,                639 00:38:05,650 --> 00:38:07,318  they have never                 experienced homelessness         640 00:38:07,418 --> 00:38:08,486 in their life before.            641 00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:11,589  You know how upsetting that is? 642 00:38:11,689 --> 00:38:12,823 To be giving someone               a box to live in               643 00:38:12,923 --> 00:38:16,394 that has never experienced       homelessness ever in their life. 644 00:38:16,494 --> 00:38:16,761 That sucks.                      645 00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:21,299

764 00:44:37,241 --> 00:44:41,311 And I guess, my very               specific idea is               765 00:44:41,412 --> 00:44:44,782   that I'm aware that the city    is getting more housing on line 766 00:44:44,882 --> 00:44:47,184 for people and that              there's going to be              767 00:44:47,284 --> 00:44:49,853 more spaces for people to        go to in the next month,         768 00:44:49,953 --> 00:44:52,289  in the next few                  months, next few weeks.         769 00:44:52,389 --> 00:44:53,357  And that, okay,                 770 00:44:53,457 --> 00:44:54,825  I've built these                shelters for people              771 00:44:54,925 --> 00:44:56,493 that are outside currently,      772 00:44:56,593 --> 00:44:59,830 but I understand that they        would like to be inside,        773 00:44:59,930 --> 00:45:02,366 like, no one wants to            be living in a tiny box.         774 00:45:02,466 --> 00:45:03,667  - That's right.                 775 00:45:03,767 --> 00:45:05,669  - So, and that's like,          I'm fully aware of this,         776 00:45:05,769 --> 00:45:07,171 but there's many                  people that are outside         777 00:45:07,271 --> 00:45:09,039  that would like                 to be in housing.                778 00:45:09,139 --> 00:45:12,076 And I guess, in my               negotiation letter,              779 00:45:12,176 --> 00:45:15,446 I'm talking about what if        this could be an interim         780 00:45:17,581 --> 00:45:20,417 for people as they're            getting into housing             781 00:45:20,517 --> 00:45:21,585 and then I can move the shelters 782 00:45:21,685 --> 00:45:25,322 and then, eventually remove      them from all city property      783 00:45:25,422 --> 00:45:26,824 when the weather is warm enough. 784 00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:29,159  - Yeah. I don't know, Khaleel.  785 00:45:29,259 --> 00:45:30,394 'Cause as I said,                786 00:45:30,494 --> 00:45:33,097 that's a better discussion         to have with Dan Rowe.         787 00:45:33,197 --> 00:45:36,467 I'm only looking at it from       a fire safety standpoint.       788 00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:37,568 - I guess.                       789 00:45:37,668 --> 00:45:41,772 - You know, if we                gotta classify it as you,        790 00:45:41,872 --> 00:45:43,841 what do we classify               it as? Is it box?               791 00:45:43,941 --> 00:45:45,542 Is it buildings, this, you know, 792 00:45:45,642 --> 00:45:47,277 it doesn't really                fit the molds of                 793 00:45:47,377 --> 00:45:51,181 any sort of recognized standard. 794 00:45:51,281 --> 00:45:52,750 Do you know what                 standard is it built to?         795 00:45:52,850 --> 00:45:56,420 - Well, I mean, it's very,       796 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:56,887 it's interesting                 because there's--                797 00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:59,056 - It's a box.                    798 00:45:59,156 --> 00:46:02,559   - There's actually a few       examples of different cities     799 00:46:02,659 --> 00:46:05,929 around the world building        extremely similar structures     800 00:46:06,029 --> 00:46:07,397   for people that                are stuck outside.               801 00:46:07,498 --> 00:46:11,769 And they're working with          governments to do this          802 00:46:11,869 --> 00:46:13,704  and it's, yeah, it's something  803 00:46:13,804 --> 00:46:15,906   that's endorsed by their       government to protect people.    804 00:46:16,006 --> 00:46:18,408  - Yeah, I know.                 805 00:46:18,509 --> 00:46:20,944 I mean, and it sounds            okay until it's not.             806 00:46:21,044 --> 00:46:25,115 We want to get these folks into  shelters, into hotel rooms.      807 00:46:25,215 --> 00:46:30,087 We wanna get them on a path        to sustainable housing.        808 00:46:30,187 --> 00:46:31,989 - I guess I'll still send         you over the blueprints         809 00:46:32,089 --> 00:46:34,258  just to get your honest          opinion about them.             810 00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:37,628  (upbeat music)                  811 00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:42,733 I like some of Nietzsche's          thoughts about like,          812 00:46:42,833 --> 00:46:45,269    people are soldiers,          they'll fight consistently,      813 00:46:45,369 --> 00:46:48,939 they'll show up, they'll         do their job, and leave.         814 00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:50,774 But warriors,                    815 00:46:50,874 --> 00:46:53,644 they can't take a break.         816 00:46:55,179 --> 00:46:57,681    The soldier can go on         vacation, but the warrior,       817 00:46:57,781 --> 00:47:01,218 the only peace they               have is victory.                818 00:47:02,085 --> 00:47:03,086 I love that.                     819 00:47:04,221 --> 00:47:06,590  They're just relentlessly       pushing something forward.       820 00:47:09,092 --> 00:47:10,794  (upbeat music)                  821 00:47:13,263 --> 00:47:15,165 (plastic rustling)               822 00:47:15,265 --> 00:47:16,667 (rapid thumping)                 823 00:47:16,767 --> 00:47:18,402  (saw whirring)                  824 00:47:23,273 --> 00:47:25,809  (upbeat music)                  825 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,648 - [Friend 1] Can you push it?    826 00:47:34,084 --> 00:47:35,352  - [Friend 2] Oh, yeah.          827 00:47:35,452 --> 00:47:37,554    - Okay. This next story       actually comes from Toronto.     828 00:47:37,654 --> 00:47:42,526 A carpenter named,               Khaleel Seivwright,              829 00:47:42,626 --> 00:47:44,962  is building insulated shelters  830 00:47:45,062 --> 00:47:46,630 for homeless people               in the community.               831 00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:48,866  This is the kind of             stuff I need to hear.            832 00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:51,602  (upbeat music)                  833 00:47:56,473 --> 00:47:58,075  - A drill and a hammer.         834 00:47:58,175 --> 00:47:58,976 Let's meet the carpenter         835 00:47:59,076 --> 00:48:01,011 from Canada crafting              multiple shelters.              836 00:48:01,111 --> 00:48:03,347 (woman speaking in                foreign language)               837 00:48:03,447 --> 00:48:04,681 - [News Announcer 1]             One Toronto carpenter            838 00:48:04,781 --> 00:48:06,583 who is receiving praise.         839 00:48:06,683 --> 00:48:07,885  - [News Announcer 1] Of         those who have used them,        840 00:48:07,985 --> 00:48:09,553  call it a saving grace.         841 00:48:09,653 --> 00:48:10,921 - [Woman] I'm so impressed          by what you're doing.         842 00:48:11,021 --> 00:48:14,391 It's actually incredible.          You are such a hero.           843 00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:15,893  - That's cool.                  844 00:48:15,993 --> 00:48:17,794  (upbeat music)                  845 00:48:21,665 --> 00:48:24,334  (saw whirring)                  846 00:48:31,341 --> 00:48:33,877  (upbeat music)                  847 00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:52,195 Oh.                              848 00:48:52,296 --> 00:48:53,997 I have to get a beer.            849 00:49:39,543 --> 00:49:42,546 (melancholic music)              850 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:57,995  - [Chief Jessop] Okay,          so good morning everyone,        851 00:49:58,095 --> 00:49:59,963 and thank you for coming.        852 00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,966 Early this morning,               just around 6AM,                853 00:50:03,066 --> 00:50:07,004  Toronto fire service responded  to the report of a fire,         854 00:50:07,104 --> 00:50:10,340 a very visible fire               at this location.               855 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,875 Upon our arrival,                856 00:50:11,975 --> 00:50:14,344  our crews were met with a        fully involved structure fire,  857 00:50:14,444 --> 00:50:17,647 what can best be described       as a tiny wooden structure.      858 00:50:17,748 --> 00:50:20,050 The fire was quickly             extinguished.                    859 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:22,552  Unfortunately, once the          fire was extinguished,          860 00:50:22,652 --> 00:50:26,356 our crews conducted              their search inside              861 00:50:26,456 --> 00:50:30,527 and noted one deceased person    with obvious signs of death.     862 00:50:30,627 --> 00:50:33,597  - And these particular           structures, where                did they come from?             863 00:50:33,697 --> 00:50:35,065 - I'm not sure, to be honest.    864 00:50:35,165 --> 00:50:36,800  Again, it would be              inappropriate for me to guess    865 00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:39,569  how they've arrived at in,      you know, in this city park.     866 00:50:39,669 --> 00:50:41,671   That will probably form        part of the investigation,       867 00:50:41,772 --> 00:50:42,973 but I have no idea.              868 00:50:48,478 --> 00:50:51,681 - Did they tell you anything     more about what happened?        869 00:50:53,150 --> 00:50:56,053  - [Outreach Worker] He          had a heater in the unit         870 00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,892 and from what I hear             from one of his friends,         871 00:51:01,992 --> 00:51:03,527 and again, I'm just assuming,    872 00:51:03,627 --> 00:51:05,562 but I don't really                 know for sure,                 873 00:51:05,662 --> 00:51:08,398 that it was a gas heater.        874 00:51:11,134 --> 00:51:11,902  - Okay.                         875 00:51:14,538 --> 00:51:17,074  And then, it just lit on fire.  876 00:51:18,508 --> 00:51:19,743 - [Outreach Worker] Yeah.        Like, I think it started         877 00:51:19,843 --> 00:51:20,911 from the inside.                 878 00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:27,717 And I don't know,                879 00:51:27,818 --> 00:51:29,886 he could have very well been,    880 00:51:31,521 --> 00:51:32,522 you know,                        881 00:51:32,622 --> 00:51:34,891  he could have actually           been on a head nod              882 00:51:34,991 --> 00:51:38,428    or overdosed and maybe        that's why he didn't wake up.    883 00:51:41,198 --> 00:51:41,998  - Yeah.                         884 00:51:43,467 --> 00:51:46,303  - [Outreach Worker] But         I do appreciate the work         885 00:51:46,403 --> 00:51:47,571 that you're doing.               886 00:51:47,671 --> 00:51:50,907  There would've been              lots of worse outcomes          887 00:51:51,007 --> 00:51:54,444 in this had you not been          providing shelters for people.  888 00:52:02,252 --> 00:52:05,088  (phone dinging)                 889 00:52:21,738 --> 00:52:22,873 Yeah.                            890 00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:25,675  And then, this is what          they're hitting me with.         891 00:52:25,775 --> 00:52:28,912   "The applicant, which           is the City of Toronto,         892 00:52:29,012 --> 00:52:31,181  makes application for an order, 893 00:52:31,281 --> 00:52:34,084  permanently restraining         the respondent, Khaleel,

creating a nuisance              or interfering with               the city's rights               897 00:52:41,691 --> 00:52:43,960 as owner and occupier            of its land."                    898 00:52:46,463 --> 00:52:46,496 Fantastic.                       899 00:52:53,537 --> 00:52:54,504 Yep.                             900 00:52:56,540 --> 00:52:56,907  - [Zach] Okay.                  901 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,184 (foreboding music)               902 00:53:07,284 --> 00:53:07,817    - [Samara] The                first option is just             903 00:53:07,918 --> 00:53:10,120 like a quiet negotiation.        904 00:53:10,220 --> 00:53:13,356   It doesn't have to be quiet,    but it could be a negotiation.  905 00:53:13,456 --> 00:53:17,060 Like, everyone sort of says,     906 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,094 "Hold on, before we go to court, 907 00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:20,363  before everyone expands           all these resources,           908 00:53:20,463 --> 00:53:22,566 let's talk about what            your goals are, city.            909 00:53:22,666 --> 00:53:25,902  And let's talk about what       Khaleel's goals are." Okay?      910 00:53:26,002 --> 00:53:29,472   The second option is to        just say, "Okay, bring it.       911 00:53:29,573 --> 00:53:31,308  We're going to court."          912 00:53:31,408 --> 00:53:32,576 And because, like,               913 00:53:32,676 --> 00:53:35,812  I think you might have some      kind of legal argument on the,  914 00:53:35,912 --> 00:53:38,148 like, waste dumping ones.        915 00:53:38,248 --> 00:53:40,717  I think what you would have      to do for the encroachment one  916 00:53:40,817 --> 00:53:42,986 is constitutionally                 challenge it.                 917 00:53:45,522 --> 00:53:48,725  So basically, the point         is, enforcing the by-law,        918 00:53:48,825 --> 00:53:49,759  forcing people out              of these encampments             919 00:53:49,859 --> 00:53:53,430   or forcing me to               stop building these,             920 00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:54,764 puts people's lives at risk      921 00:53:54,864 --> 00:53:57,968  because of the failure           of the shelter system.          922 00:53:59,502 --> 00:54:00,904 (melancholic music)              923 00:54:56,893 --> 00:55:00,397 - Hi, are you here                 to serve Tory?                 924 00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:06,136 - Yeah. So we're here            at John Tory's condo,            925 00:55:06,236 --> 00:55:07,103 trying to contest the injunction 926 00:55:07,203 --> 00:55:09,439 that he has served to             Khaleel Seivwright.             927 00:55:09,539 --> 00:55:12,275   And we're trying to get        him to stop the injunction,      928 00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:13,576  repeal the bylaws that           criminalize people              929 00:55:13,677 --> 00:55:15,779  who are living in parks         930 00:55:15,879 --> 00:55:19,616  and create more                  affordable RGI housing.         931 00:55:19,716 --> 00:55:22,252 - Yeah. Tiny house's               well structured.               932 00:55:22,352 --> 00:55:25,955 You don't need no heat, you      don't need no nothing in there.  933 00:55:26,056 --> 00:55:29,426 As long as they go inside and    close the door, you're good.     934 00:55:29,526 --> 00:55:31,127  - [Zach] Have you had a          couple or you have one?         935 00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:32,095 - I have one,                    936 00:55:32,195 --> 00:55:34,130  but I'm the first               person that get it.              937 00:55:34,230 --> 00:55:36,666 I was the first one that          get that. That get it.          938 00:55:36,766 --> 00:55:39,436 Yeah. When it burned             down is people careless,         939 00:55:39,536 --> 00:55:40,637 like go in there,                940 00:55:40,737 --> 00:55:41,771  do whatever they                doing and get high,              941 00:55:41,871 --> 00:55:43,707 fall asleep and something wrong. 942 00:55:43,807 --> 00:55:46,710 But otherwise from                that, it's good.                943 00:55:46,810 --> 00:55:47,711 - [Zach] Did you have            any problems with yours?         944 00:55:47,811 --> 00:55:50,113 - I have no problems             whatsoever. Yeah.                945 00:55:52,749 --> 00:55:53,216   - [Zach] Do you                have anything else               946 00:55:53,316 --> 00:55:54,984 that you want to say?            947 00:55:55,085 --> 00:55:57,954 - I hope whatever, you know,        I hope the city can see       948 00:55:58,054 --> 00:56:02,292 what people are fighting         for and common people            949 00:56:02,392 --> 00:56:03,493   because there's a lot           of people in the street         950 00:56:03,593 --> 00:56:07,464 that need places and we want      the same thing. Like what?      951 00:56:07,564 --> 00:56:08,798 The mayor have his own key.      952 00:56:08,898 --> 00:56:11,234  That's what everybody's           looking for.                   953 00:56:11,334 --> 00:56:13,370  A place where they              can call their home.             954 00:56:13,470 --> 00:56:14,204 It doesn't matter, you know,     955 00:56:14,304 --> 00:56:16,172  a home is still                 a home, you know.                956 00:56:18,007 --> 00:56:21,144 - [TV Character] Open            the goddamn door.                957 00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:31,287  - Hey.                          - Just a.                        958 00:56:32,689 --> 00:56:34,424 It's just a very nice take.      959 00:56:34,524 --> 00:56:36,493 - It's really bright in here     960 00:56:36,593 --> 00:56:37,694 when the light's coming.         961 00:56:37,794 --> 00:56:38,528 - [Zach] When it's               all coming through.              962 00:56:38,628 --> 00:56:39,362  It's a really nice day.         963 00:56:39,462 --> 00:56:40,897  - Yeah.                         964 00:56:40,997 --> 00:56:42,866 - [Zach] It's cold,                but it's nice.                 965 00:56:44,801 --> 00:56:48,004 (melancholic music)              966 00:58:33,943 --> 00:58:35,478 - These encampments                 are not safe.                 967 00:58:35,578 --> 00:58:38,982   They're not healthy and they    do not belong in public parks.  968 00:58:39,082 --> 00:58:40,049 They're not to be                in public parks,                 969 00:58:40,149 --> 00:58:43,086 but we're not just               clearing them out.               970 00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:45,655 We are preceding that by          extensive work that is going on 971 00:58:45,755 --> 00:58:48,691   right now to talk to each and   every one of those individuals  972 00:58:48,791 --> 00:58:50,493 and find them better housing.    973 00:58:51,594 --> 00:58:52,028  (indistinct phone call)         974 00:58:52,128 --> 00:58:53,730 - [Woman] Hi, there.             975 00:58:53,830 --> 00:58:54,597 I just phoned about               a friend of mine                976 00:58:54,697 --> 00:58:56,633  who's been living               at Scadding Court.               977 00:58:56,733 --> 00:58:57,800  He's trying to get              into a shelter hotel.            978 00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:01,004  - [Shelter Coordinator] If he's   looking for an indoor space,   979 00:59:01,104 --> 00:59:02,171  he's gonna need to               contact central intake.         980 00:59:02,272 --> 00:59:03,373  I don't have access             to any hotel spaces.             981 00:59:03,473 --> 00:59:06,109   - [Woman] We're told            repeatedly over and over again  982 00:59:06,209 --> 00:59:07,143 by streets to homes               who come in here                983 00:59:07,243 --> 00:59:08,845  that they can call              any time, residents,             984 00:59:08,945 --> 00:59:11,314 to get into shelter hotels.      985 00:59:11,414 --> 00:59:12,582   They're evicting               people from the parks            986 00:59:12,682 --> 00:59:15,518  and encouraging them to           go to shelter hotels.          987 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,021  - [Shelter Coordinator]         Yes. I am aware of that.         988 00:59:18,121 --> 00:59:20,089 The referrals by the             encampment teams,                989 00:59:20,189 --> 00:59:22,325  the indoor spaces               for eligible folks               990 00:59:22,425 --> 00:59:27,497  who meet the requirements       happen on Monday to Friday.      991 00:59:27,597 --> 00:59:28,998 - [Woman] Right. But I mean,     992 00:59:29,098 --> 00:59:30,366 the prerogative of the city      right now in streets to homes is 993 00:59:30,466 --> 00:59:32,702    to get people into            shelter hotels or indoors        994 00:59:32,802 --> 00:59:34,404 out of the parks. Right?         995 00:59:34,504 --> 00:59:36,039    And I'm like, literally       sitting with a man right now     996 00:59:36,139 --> 00:59:38,508 who's asking for help getting    997 00:59:38,608 --> 00:59:40,243 into one of your shelter hotels. 998 00:59:40,343 --> 00:59:43,513 And you're saying there's           nothing you can do.           999 00:59:44,681 --> 00:59:45,882 - [Shelter Coordinator] No,      1000 00:59:45,982 --> 00:59:46,883  the hotel programs that          streets to homes refers         1001 00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:48,851  to do not accept                referrals on the weekends.       1002 00:59:48,952 --> 00:59:50,353 - [Woman] Okay. Okay.            1003 00:59:50,453 --> 00:59:53,323 So this guy's just gonna         be stuck outside tonight.        1004 00:59:59,829 --> 01:00:00,863  Right?                          1005 01:00:02,131 --> 01:00:03,099  - [Shelter Coordinator]          Again, my suggestion is         1006 01:00:03,199 --> 01:00:04,467  that he's going to need          to call central intake          1007 01:00:04,567 --> 01:00:06,502  and if something is available,   they will let him know.         1008 01:00:06,603 --> 01:00:07,804 - [Woman] Yeah. We tried that    1009 01:00:07,904 --> 01:00:09,305 and they said there's             nothing available.              1010 01:00:09,405 --> 01:00:11,574  - [Shelter Coordinator]           At this time,                  1011 01:00:11,674 --> 01:00:12,909 but that will likely             change in the future.            1012 01:00:17,580 --> 01:00:20,416 (mellow piano music)             1013 01:00:44,574 --> 01:00:46,175 - [Samara] If you don't wanna    constitutionally challenge it    1014 01:00:46,275 --> 01:00:47,977 'cause you're just                 not interested.                1015 01:00:48,077 --> 01:00:49,979 That's a different story.        1016 01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:52,115 - I mean, that's also true.      1017 01:00:52,215 --> 01:00:55,618   I guess I want to get           back to living my life          1018 01:00:55,718 --> 01:00:58,488 and I guess it's interesting.    1019 01:00:58,588 --> 01:01:00,089  Like, I don't,                  1020 01:01:00,189 --> 01:01:03,192 I'm not someone that             considers myself an activist,    1021 01:01:03,292 --> 01:01:04,127 you know,                        1022 01:01:04,227 --> 01:01:06,029    and in any way,               it's like leading up             1023 01:01:06,129 --> 01:01:07,797 to building these shelters.      1024 01:01:07,897 --> 01:01:09,799 It's just simply something       that I saw that I could do       1025 01:01:09,899 --> 01:01:14,137 that made sense. And             so I did it and yeah,            1026 01:01:14,237 --> 01:01:16,005  I guess I'm not someone         that would like,                 1027 01:01:16,105 --> 01:01:19,609  regularly go out of             my way to be involved            1028 01:01:19,709 --> 01:01:20,777 in things like these.            1029 01:01:20,877 --> 01:01:22,145  I guess, like,                  1030 01:01:23,246 --> 01:01:27,183  that's the kind of              person I actually am.            1031 01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:29,519 - [Samara] Okay.                 1032 01:01:29,619 --> 01:01:31,054 Okay. That's totally fair.       1033 01:01:31,154 --> 01:01:33,990  And we just wanted              to talk to you about             1034 01:01:34,090 --> 01:01:35,491 where your head was at and.      1035 01:01:38,795 --> 01:01:40,997 (trash rattling)                 1036 01:01:51,974 --> 01:01:55,344 (continuous thudding)            1037 01:02:05,621 --> 01:02:07,323   - Good morning. I would like    to call this meeting to order.  1038 01:02:07,423 --> 01:02:09,659  Please join me for              the national anthem.             1039 01:02:13,830 --> 01:02:14,831 - My motion is rather short,     1040 01:02:14,931 --> 01:02:17,533 that city council adopt a        goal of zero encampments.        1041 01:02:19,936 --> 01:02:21,504 I've heard from many             constituents of mine             1042 01:02:21,604 --> 01:02:22,505 that have a lot of concerns      1043 01:02:22,605 --> 01:02:24,507 over the mass                    encampments in parks.            1044 01:02:24,607 --> 01:02:28,144  And I think people see           that as not being fair,         1045 01:02:33,149 --> 01:02:35,985 but others seem to somehow        either not have to follow       1046 01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:38,788 the rules or they gained          some sort of a benefit          1047 01:02:38,888 --> 01:02:41,491 by having access to              public land for their own.       1048 01:02:42,225 --> 01:02:43,426 - Councilor Holidays.            1049 01:02:43,526 --> 01:02:46,596  Aspirational statements           would find, I think,           1050 01:02:46,696 --> 01:02:49,699 broad support in the public       to end these encampments.       1051 01:02:55,738 --> 01:02:58,808    I don't think that we         should be making it easier       1052 01:02:58,908 --> 01:03:00,810 for the people in                these encampments                1053 01:03:00,910 --> 01:03:02,445 to sustain and live longer          in these encampments.         1054 01:03:02,545 --> 01:03:05,047 We should be encouraging          them to leave.                  1055 01:03:10,753 --> 01:03:14,023 (helicopter whirring)            1056 01:03:16,092 --> 01:03:17,827   I will lead the                city administration              1057 01:03:17,927 --> 01:03:19,996   in doing groundbreaking        work on supportive housing       1058 01:03:20,096 --> 01:03:21,864  and supports for people who      are experiencing homelessness.  1059 01:03:21,964 --> 01:03:24,267 I do not believe failing          to act on encampments,          1060 01:03:24,367 --> 01:03:27,670  indefinitely represents any      kind of compassionate approach  1061 01:03:27,770 --> 01:03:29,505  for those who are               experiencing homelessness.       1062 01:03:29,605 --> 01:03:32,341  Nor is it fair and considerate   to all of the other people      1063
