Since I discovered I am a "Lost Canadian" I have been learning many things about Canada. I was not surprised to learn Canadians are considered some of the most polite people in the world as they do seem to be quite polite for sure. But I have to say I was surprised to learn about "The Apology Act", so today I am happy to let you know what I learned online about it . . .
- In Canada, you can’t be sued for saying "sorry".
- Canada's Apology Act is a landmark piece of provincial legislation which legally protects citizens, doctors, and businesses from having their apologies used as evidence of guilt in civil court - the Act lets apologies be about empathy—not liability.
- The law dictates a sincere expression of sorrow or regret cannot be construed as an admission of fault or liability.
- The law covers any expression of sympathy, regret, or contrition, whether or not it explicitly admits fault.
