Toronto Mayor Says He Won't Resign Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he will not resign after police said they've obtained a video that apparently shows him smoking from a crack pipe. Ford said with a smile: "I have no reason to resign." He said he couldn't defend himself because his case is now being handled by authorities: "That's all I can say right now." He said he needed to "go back and return my phone calls." Ford had claimed the video didn't exist and has been at the core of a scandal that has embarrassed and gripped Canada for months.
