demoTV - Kevin Clarke Debating

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.





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.

Kevin Clarke's moment of truth (The Debate)

Kevin Clarke, eccentric independent candidate, is finally allowed to participate in the by-election debate and has his moment after the audience becomes outraged by the police attempt to remove him from the stage and from the democratic political process.



I ask Kevin what he hopes for. He replies more seriously, "I'm a realist but I'm also a dreamer. I would like to see a smile on all the people that I pass by. I would like to see children playing in the parks; I'd like to see more stories in the media about people helping seniors cross the street, young children excelling in their school work and playing sports. I'd like to see homelessness become extinct. I believe homelessness in the city is an issue that has been passed down on the municipality by the federal government."
