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.

Relaxing in Venetian splendor of their formal living room are Victor Biasi and Richard, 10. Because Victor has lived in Venice most of his life, practically all the furniture in the room has been imported from Italy. Although the home on Glenview Ave. in North Toronto looks English on the outside, inside it is transformed into a touch of Venice transported to Toronto.
