It seems a bit early for Toronto, so I'm thinking Sault St. Marie and Thunder Bay

I believe a variant on this question came up earlier in our history. It was too early for Air Florida and if I remember correctly, the airline of record was American. Back then, it seems the CAB was reluctant to approve most any mergers between major airlines on anti-competitive grounds, often backed by a howls of protest from all of the other airlines.
You're off to a great start here.....
1. Thunder Bay was actually two cities at this time, being Fort William and Port Arthur, and both were served by one airport. And you are
correct!
However, NC wasn't serving Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario province (although they were serving Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan at this time) so please guess again, sir!
6. American is
correct!
