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.

But not for us: The Royal Ontario Museum's chief archeologist, Dr. A. Douglas Tushingham, points out part of Iran's royal collection from a book he co-authored. If they were to go on sale, the ROM would not be in the market for the priceless treasure. It couldn't even afford the sparkle from one of these emeralds, he said.
