TORONTO Mayor Rob Ford defiantly declared on Thursday that he had no intention of resigning despite the steady exodus of staffers from his office amid a scandal over reports of a video that purportedly shows him smoking crack cocaine.
Two more key Ford aides quit the same day: Brian Johnston, the mayor's policy adviser on council relations, and Kia Nejatian, his executive assistant. The mayor has lost five staff members since the furor over the video erupted last week.
Ford has said there is no video and has called the allegations ridiculous, but he won't say whether he has ever used crack. He downplayed staff upheaval.
