00:00 I was third day on the street and it was really cold. I didn't have much energy.
00:09 So I went to hospital to get a jacket and ask about assisted suicide.
00:15 The City of Toronto tells us they are currently providing shelter to more than 7,500 people each night.
00:25 But according to the latest City data, many of these shelters are at over 99% capacity.
00:31 Let's move on to a story about a carpenter. His name is Khalil Sebrite.
00:45 And he's the guy who built some Toronto tiny shelters.
00:48 These are places for people with no housing to be comfortable during the cold weather.
00:53 It was a solution I never thought about.
00:55 When you explain how it works, that it uses my body temperature.
00:59 Oh, so now I'm the heating device. I'm the one who makes this. I build a home.
01:06 These encampments are not safe, they are not healthy, and they do not belong in public parks.
01:13 There was not a fire safety inspection done on these shelters by Jim Jessup or anyone from the fire department.
01:19 And for you to say that they are definitely not safe is a complete lie.
01:24 Who do you protect? Who do you protect?
01:27 I don't think that we should be making it easier for the people in these encampments to sustain and live longer in these encampments.
01:34 We should be encouraging them to leave.
01:37 Where is the money for housing? Where is the money for love?
01:47 I so hope that he will not take that everybody needs home as much as I did.
01:54 Khalil is one person. You cannot warm up the whole universe.
