Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says brother's apology to police chief is 'sincere'

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Aug, 2014 08:55 AM

TORONTO - Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says his brother's public apology to the city's police chief was "sincere."

Coun. Doug Ford apologized and took back his words Wednesday, two days after Chief Bill Blair filed a defamation notice against him.

But a spokesman says Blair hasn't yet accepted the apology because it doesn't meet the terms laid out in the notice.

Toronto's top cop had threatened legal action after the councillor accused him of leaking information about an investigation involving the mayor as "payback."

Rob Ford has repeatedly said the matter is between the chief and his brother.
