Councillor Doug Ford apologized to Bill Blair today, the second in two days since the police chief served him with a notice of defamation earlier this week.
Blair had reportedly requested Ford apologize for saying that the chief had leaked information that his brother Rob was going to be subpoenaed to an upcoming Sandro Lisi hearing. Yesterday, Ford orally apologized, but the chief wasn’t satisfied.
In addition to retracting his comments about the chief, Ford wrote that he is donating $1000 to Covenant House:
This time Blair was satisfied with the public spanking, and later announced he was dropping the lawsuit at a press conference.
