Toronto's top cop accepts apology from Mayor Rob Ford's brother

Darpan News Desk Canadian Press, 14 Aug, 2014 10:29 AM
    Toronto's top cop has decided to accept an apology from Mayor Rob Ford's brother.
     
    Chief Bill Blair had initially declined Doug Ford's public apology, saying through a spokesman that it didn't meet the terms laid out in a defamation notice he filed against the city councillor.
     
    But the chief changed his mind today after receiving a written apology from Doug Ford in which he retracted his comments accusing Blair of leaking information about an investigation involving the mayor as "payback."
     
    In the letter, Ford says he had no information that would suggest the chief knew about the leak and he's sorry if his comments implied differently.
     
    Blair had threatened legal action after the councillor's remarks, which Blair says were "false and slanderous" and attacked his reputation.
     
    The mayor has repeatedly said the dispute doesn't involve him but added this morning that his brother was "sincere" in expressing his regrets.
