I think most of you make some good points. "The Life" or whatever you want to call it is very complicated. True for a mafioso so many things are not permitted if it's in violation of his obligations as a "man of honor". In Italy is different many men become crazy in 41 bis regime. Yes 41bis is inhumane IMO, but there is no other way to keep the bosses from still running their families and even at maximum security units they still send messages .

Rush, Canada is soft on organized crime. And Vito Rizzuto wasn't your typical Mafia boss. I also think the mobsters over there are more traditional and closer to their old country roots. And it's not just Italian organized crime, so many different groups up there that have a lot of power and money and influence. Guys also rarely get life sentences for murder. Organized crime up there needs another Vito Rizzuto, like desperately. A strong, charismatic figure who everyone loves, respects, and if need be fears. The Siderno Group is well organized and strong, but they don't have an overall boss instead they have several charismatic leaders and are less flashy as the Montreal guys.

For example one bust in 2019 included 9 major crime figures: Angelo Figliomeni, Vito Sili, Nick Martino, Emilio Zannuti, Erica Quintal, Salvatore Oliveti, Giuseppe Ciurleo, Rafael Lepore and Francesco Vitucci.

American Mob is just a bunch of guys with Italian surnames.
How many of them really understand the history of cosa nostra or the culture that it came from ?
