Ontario’s Apology Act of 2009
Sorry!
Okay, so you know how Canadians are like, the nicest? Well did you know that they are indeed so nice that their politeness requires some sort of legal protection? Let me explain.
In 2009, Ontario passed a law called The Ontario Apology act, which is basically a law that protects apologies from being treated like legal confessions and an apology cannot be used as evidence of admission to guilt. This is especially valuable for a doctor, a business, or just a very remorseful human, the Act lets apologies be about empathy—not liability.
