When you say sorry, you don't mean to take any serious responsibility for whatever has happened.
Apology is a different matter. By apologizing, you may be liable for certain consequences.
"I'm sorry" is also used to express sympathy, not apology.
知道CBC那些人为什么一直用sorry糊弄人了, 坚决不肯说apology吧?
官方的道歉, 应该用apology。 比如2007年前保守党政府为100多年前的华人人头税和排华法案道歉时, 用的就是apology, 不是轻描淡写的·“I am sorry..."
