By Marie-louise Olson PUBLISHED: 16:49 EST, 11 November 2013 | UPDATED: 16:49 EST, 11 November 2013 Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is still rejecting calls for his resignation saying on Monday in his first public appearance since he admitted to smoking crack cocaine that he is ‘not going anywhere’. The embattled politician, who made the appearance at the city’s Remembrance Day ceremony in front of Old City Hall, was greeted with a mixture of light applause and booing when he made his speech to a crowd huddled under umbrellas. Ford admitted smoking crack cocaine last week in a ‘drunken stupor’, despite at first denying he had taken the drug.
