For Sale: Ontario Northlander

All over North Bay and Temiskaming yesterday, we saw signs opposing the privatization of the Ontario Northlander (ONTC). The Ontario government recently had announced that it was going to sell the line. This lane brings people from Cochrane up to Moosonee and is mostly commonly known to Canadians as "The Polar Express."

While this article in the Nation News gives a very narrow outlook of the consequences, I am wondering whether there can be a positive impact if the right buyer, with the right intentions, comes along.
