I feel you Jace. I’m also skeptical when it comes to “reports” and all.
Yet, she didn’t come off as a radical, like saying that there’s is NO mob influence at all or saying that the mob RUNS the ports like in the 60s. It’s pretty balanced and logical. And I tend to believe that the truth usually stands in the middle.

There’s no doubt that the mob has some presence on the NJ/NY waterfronts. Nothing that resembles the old days, of course, but it’s there.

Montreal, on the other hand, it’s a whole different story. It’s a jungle up there.
