Saying a simple ‘sorry’ is also dealt with law, as governed by Canada’s Apology Act. Learning about this law can have a huge impact in negotiations and trials
I was always raised to never say sorry after a car accident or in any scenario where police could be involved. I guess it’s just an extension of that being drilled into my head when I was young!
Why?
Sorry
Because someone else’s misfortune is inherently not my responsibility. I can easily express sympathy in another way.

Why do you reject that sorry can be used to express sympathy without assuming responsibility?
