Original Toronto Star caption: New building will be almost first thing Canadian Press has ever owned. It was run at first on the principle that it should own nothing itself. Everything it used was owned by the co-operating newspapers or was rented. Papers pay an annual assessment to meet expenses.

Running a railroad, even if it's government-owned, means behaving like a business. Jean Cormier, vice-president of public relations for Canadian National, says many people don't understand that. Cormier said that because of its government association, many people view the railway as inefficient, bureaucratic, wasteful. CN is out to change that, although it has many problems because it still is an Ottawa-operated and deficit-plagued entity.
