there has been a constant string of OC busts in canada going back years.
all of the hits that have taken place between MTL and the southern part of ontario cannot all be written off as vendetta.
most of these murders are about taking over territory to make money.
the american mafia as a whole has never had the inclination to work with other OC groups.
there have been very minor busts showing alliances to street gangs or biker mc groups but not many.
it could be that the mafia has lost out on rackets they feel beneath them.
the mafia no longer needs to be a middleman between cartels and street level drug sales.cartels do almost everything themselves or with alliances to trusted groups.
how many states have legalized gambling?sports gambling?marijuana?no money to be made there.
could also be an overestimation of the made man strength of all these families to begin with.
there have been many charts/lists on this site over the years and no matter where they originate from the numbers of men shown to be in the mafia has always seemed too big.
so maybe not enough man power,not enough rackets,not enough intelligence=no big busts.

was the former/current consigliere of the colombos thomas farese not busted back in the summer for a large medicare scam for like 60 mill thats pretty big.
