`Everyone on Parliament Hill

`has done absolutely bupkus.

`potentially damaging audit of the

`What Trudeau did was totell

`NIAGARA. FALLS, Ont. —
`_ Damage is pegged at more than
`$500,000 in an early morning fire
`that destroyed a building in this
`city’s tourism district.
`The burned building, which
`housed a number of business,
`was unoceupied at the time of
`the blaze and no injuries were
`reported.
`On Wednesday afternoon,
`some 15 hours after the fire
`began, NiagaraFalls firefighters
`remained on scene and contin-
`ued to pour thousandsof gallons
`of water onto the structure. Heavy
`smoke continued to billow from
`the debris.
`The fire was réported about
`12:15 a.m. Wednesday.
`“There was heavy smoke and
`fire in a portion of the building,’
`said Niagara Falls Deputy Fire
`Chief Phil Ross: “We responded
`with three stations and had the
`fire pretty well contained by about
`
`4
`
`At one point, the roof of the
`building cavedin while firefight-
`ers continued to add water from
`the top oftheir aerial ladders,
`At about 9 a.m,.an excavator
`was brought in to knock down
`the front portion of the Capish
`Hip Hopstore so thatfirefight-
`ers could reach the heart of the
`fire. Two other businesses were
`
`destroyed.
`On Wednesday afternoon, a
`second excavator was brought
`in to knock down a wall near the
`back of the building.
`“We're:comingat it from both
`sides, but it’s beenpretty stub-
`born,’ said onefire official at the
`scene.

`Google close to settling antitrust probe
`
`Google is close tosettlinga three-year European
`antitrustprobe with “much better”concessionsto allay —
`concerns over blocking rivals such as Microsoft from
`Internet search results, two sources said on Wednesday,
`A settlement with the European Union's regulator
`would mean that Google, the world’s biggest Internet
`search engine, would escapea possible fine of as much
`
`as $5billionor 10% ofits2012 revenue.
`Such an outcome would mirror the company’s
`successin the U.S. last year whereitreceived only a mild
`reprimand from the Federal Trade Commission, which -
`said Google hadnot manipulated itswebsite results
`following a19-monthinvestigation. -
