Time to go further down the rabbit hole:


You beat me to it. Let's try to keep in mind that with any addictions comes manipulation, chaos, despair and a myriad of other things that make people act one way while under the influence and another when they are sober. So it may have been she was drunk and told what to post but to go so far to think that it's Sandro is stretching in in my opinion. I think, personally, that she is desperate and attention seeking most times. It is not like her and Rob have been friends for years and years.....nine days or something. Seems like more of an attachment issue than anything to me.
 
"@Leeeee34 I am sorry for any tweets I have made in the past and would like to apologize to any I have offended. Going to try a new approach"


Step eight?
 
Sorry to push the point but it really is an excellent book - well-written, well-organized and paced - about a fascinating story involving some remarkable characters:

UofT Press:

On 11 November 1918, the last day of the Great War, the Canadian Corps, led by Sir Arthur Currie, liberated Mons after four years of German occupation. The push to Mons in the last days and weeks of the war had cost many lives. Long after the war, Currie was blamed by many for needlessly wasting those lives. When the Port Hope Evening Guide published an editorial in 1927 repeating this charge, Currie was incensed. Against the advice of his friends, he decided to sue for libel and retained W.N. Tilley, Q.C.,* the leading lawyer of the day, to plead his case.


First published in 1988, The Last Day, the Last Hour reconstructs the events - military and legal - that led to the trial and the trial itself, one of the most sensational courtroom battles in Canadian history, involving many prominent legal, military and political figures of the 1920s. Now back in print with a new preface by the author, judge and legal scholar Robert J. Sharpe, The Last Day, the Last Hour remains the definitive account of a landmark legal case.


*a founder of the firm of Tilley Carson, which eventually evolved into the firm known today as Borden Ladner Gervais

ETA: There is a memorial to Currie in the vetrans section of a cemetary in the West Island of Montreal. When I was a sprout in Montreal in the 1950s - and attending Sir Arthur Currie Elementary School in NDG - the Currie memorial was still being occasionally defaced with graffiti accusing him of causing needless injury and death to his troops.

Councillor Doug Ford tells reporters he is apologizing to Chief Blair and he is retracting his comments.

Councillor Doug Ford tells reporters he is apologizing to Chief Blair and he is retracting his comments.

But he won't do it quietly or sincerely. He really doesn't know when to shut up.

"I don't know how many more times I need to apologize," Doug Ford says about 60 seconds after apologizing
 
Hmm, make the statement, wait a week, retract and then say how many times they have to apologize again. As if it can't get any more formularic.

AoD
 
I assume that retracting a defamatory statement... and then saying "but there's always a reason why I make such statements"... means you're still in defamation territory? Like seriously WTF is he thinking?
 
Statement may not have been good enough:

UPDATE: #Toronto Police say Bill Blair said Doug Ford would have to write apology & retraction & Blair would send it to lawyer. #TOpoli
