Was Major Mayoral Candidate’s Blog Plagiarized?

CityNews: Was Major Mayoral Candidate’s Blog Plagiarized? and the TV news talks about Jane Pitfield’s web site (Jane Pitfield for Mayor), and the fact that content on it was plagiarized from Spacing magazine. Since I haven’t found both posts to compare, I can’t be sure, but Jane herself was on CityTV admitting to it… though she thinks that an apology is sufficient. While I’m all for forgiveness, is just saying you’re sorry enough?

Thanks! That's what I didn't have time to look for. It will be using this with my students. Much appreciated.
