I agree with you on this one vinnygorgeous. The Sicilian/Calabrian factionalism goes way back in Montreal, and the Calabrian presence in Canada has only seemed to multiply in recent years. Ndrina are doing a lot of things globally.

Going further, however; I also believe there's some other elements involved in power plays. The string of hits is way above anything you'd think a street element would be capable of, but the firebombings seem way too amature-ish for established Calabrian families.

Give it another five or ten years or so, I guess. It'll hopefully come out in the wash.
