In this eye-opening video, we follow the story of James McGilvery, who chooses to experience what it's like to be homeless during Canada's harsh winter. With temperatures nearing minus 20 degrees, James finds solace in a makeshift tent off Recreation Avenue, a space designated by the city for those in need. Despite the availability of shelters, James opts for this personal experiment to understand the reality of surviving the cold outdoors.
Through the interview, we learn about James's setup: a sleeping bag, pallets for insulation from the ground, blankets, plastic bags for moisture protection, and hand warmers for additional warmth. His surprising revelation that he considers this situation "good" for him challenges viewers to think about homelessness and the human spirit's resilience.
This video not only highlights the critical issue of homelessness in Canada but also sheds light on individual experiences within the broader context of social support systems and their accessibility. Join the conversation in the comments below and share your thoughts on this compelling story.

Genuine Experiment? Yeah right. You can't be going around all day everyday outside in -20 weather and not be cold. I don't care who you are. You breathe in that cold air all day. Pulling pallets and pushing a cart makes you breath in that cold air even deeper. Feet freezing and possible frost bite. Every hour that you are outside in that frigid weather you feel colder. So if you have been outside in the weather for 8, 10, 12, or 15 hours then you will be much colder than somebody who has been out in that weather for 1 or 2 hours. I think your care body temperature drops or something. If you have been out in the cold for 1 or 2 hours you will warm up much quicker than somebody who has been out in the freezing cold for 8 or 10 hours. That can take many hours to warm up. Trying to push a cart, carry a heavy back pack, luggage, bags of belongings, pallets, and such for miles while freezing cold, sick, hungry, having lung diseases or other chronic diseases and frozen feet can be draining or near impossible.

There is some truth to that, but it also shows that you lack experience with *TRULY* having no security. For example, warmth and food are worthless when you are getting stomped or raped because you had to sleep under a bridge. (One homeless woman I spent some time talking with related that she sleeps in trees so she can't be found and raped again.)

I helped at a place where homeless guys came to take a shower, have a coffee for a cent and warm up for the day. I remember the faces of some of them when it was cold, it was heart breaking... Women have a lot more help than men, they get easier access to shelters and a lot more help. And nobody care about that, it doesn't fit the official narrative...

No clearly he's homeless but he says the mission tried to come get him to stay but he doesn't want to stay there - probably it's the rules that are totally ridiculous. That's the reason I don't stay in any shelters I never have I always stay outside when I'm homeless Plus the people in the shelters will steal your belongings for fentanyl I have no problem with drug addicts as long as they don't rob me. I do plenty of drugs it's just impossible for me to get addicted to anything but weed and a little liquor.

​ @Guinevere Melady but if you don't have a job how are you going to pay the upfront rental payment for the house ? If you have a job then live in a shelter for that first month as they have facility such as bathroom. When you get your first month wages then look for a room for rental. Just a room first, until you have some saving. You don't need to rent a house for only oneself to live when your income isn't stable. What do you mean by "A lot of these people lost their jobs because of what is going on" ?

I applaud him, he acts tough... he does not complain because many humans have a innate ability to be tough in front of peers. Society has problems if they think people choose homelessness, they simply choose it over what is offered. give the man a piece of land.

That jacket sleeping bag is saving alot of homeless people from freezing to death. It was designed by a black lady using donated scrape materials and sown by other homeless people. Sleeping bag jackets are then giving out to the homeless people to help them stay warm during freezing temperatures.

Somehow I doubt the guy is truly homeless. You can't be going around all day everyday outside in -20 weather and not be cold. I don't care who you are. You breathe in that cold air all day. Pulling pallets and pushing a cart makes you breath in that cold air even deeper. Feet freezing and possible frost bite. Every hour that you are outside in that frigid weather you feel colder. So if you have been outside in the weather for 8, 10, 12, or 15 hours then you will be much colder than somebody who has been out in that weather for 1 or 2 hours. I think your care body temperature drops or something. If you have been out in the cold for 1 or 2 hours you will warm up much quicker than somebody who has been out in the freezing cold for 8 or 10 hours. That can take many hours to warm up. Trying to push a cart, carry a heavy back pack, luggage, bags of belongings, pallets, and such for miles while freezing cold, sick, hungry, having lung diseases or other chronic diseases and frozen feet can be draining or near impossible.

Notice his cheerfulness!! Read "Paradise Below Zero" by Calvin Rutstrum.. Downside is that a quick cup of coffee isn't always doable.. When I wake up like that, I go "Coffee time!!" There's some really nice sleeping bags available, in oversize so you can stretch out!!, that'll keep you comfy below zero, and they're not down, so they're actually much easier to take care of. Of course, Calvin Rutstrum had good times (and good stories!!) in the days before down alternatives.

Here in the province of Quebec, if you are homeless you can spend the night in the emergency room of any hospital. Nobody will ask you anything, even more, they will be happy that you do not ask for medical attention. If you want to sleep you go into one of the dozens and dozens of empty rooms all around the hospital. Again, nobody will ask you to leave, cause they don't care if you are sick or not. For the last 50 years they don't even answer the bell when a real patient rings...

There's all different types of homeless people dude. Some people only have a place to stay on certain nights some people have cars etc... My gut tells me this guy is forced to be homeless on certain days and not others or that he can get into shelters but that the rules are very restricting just like myself I'm not a drug addicted homeless person But I still choose to remain outside of the shelter because for one thing the people in it for another thing the people running it have ridiculous rules. I'm not a drug addict but if I want to have a drink or smoke some weed or whatever if I want to even do a line from time to time I don't want anybody telling me how to run my life These people drink coffee every morning or they couldn't even get up and go to work caffeine is a serious drug. It's a lifestyle and people get jealous of our lifestyle. We are on the front lines fighting this war against the sewish slumlords and the government that enforces their unlawful rules in the courts of lawlessness and injustice. WE ARE ON THE FRONT LINES FIGHTING A WAR JUST TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP FOR FREE TAX-FREE IN OUR OWN SHELTER, AND WE NEED ALL THE DRUGS WE CAN GET. WE WILL NOT PAY PROPERTY TAX!! WE WILL NOT WORK FOR ¥EWISH SLAVE MASTERS. We are on the front lines of this war versus ¥ews and The people who support the sews army of skumlords🇮🇱government.. We The People ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF THIS WAR IT IS A REAL WAR AND Need All The Drugs We Can Get, just like soldiers overseas who are finding a Real War. We are trying not to hurt innocent people We need drugs to fight the mental anguish They are attempting to put us in for now we are okay. But we need more drugs, absolutely. you want us off the street? Pay us in drugs for picking up garbage and give us a free shed to live in. Free not $300 a month, if we have to pay $300 a month we can barely afford to eat, Never mind buy the drugs that we need to consume to keep from turdering the middle class boot lickers. We literally HAVE TO DO DRUGS because we don't want to turn into MASS Muderers, at least not yet, which is the only alternative.

That's a lot of the reason why nobody wants to help the homeless. They feel so burdened having to pay for their home and they are actually jealous of anyone who doesn't have that burden of paying a mortgage and taxes and can still sit there and smile in the freezing cold It makes them feel like they're doing it all for nothing. And this guy with absolutely nothing is happier than they are. It really grinds their gears.

I do just wanna point out everybody yelling politicians. This guy did say it was a choice. He could been in the mission which is a church. Matter of fact most churches will let you sleep there. And there warm or atleast warmer. I was homeless at 13 in nyc but by 15 I had a job and apartment those two years sucked but I was granted every opportunity I jus didn’t realize it. I had been offered food and room aswell as jobs but I’d always decline because I didn’t recognize this as my escape from hunger and the cold. It wasn’t untill a old rich white lady asked me if I wanted left overs. When I said no she told me if I’m happy where I am then I don’t need to try anymore. However if my situation is one I’m not “suppose” to be in then I better fight to get out of it. She then showed me the nazi numbers on her arm and said her family was homeless too. I didn’t understand untill later on but this lady had been a victim of the Holocaust and now she’s Uber wealthy on 5th ave. I now have a job and a family and am not homeless. I have a nice home.
