The Di Maulos, Mucci, Gallo, Volpato, Vanelli, Cotroni's belong mainly to the old Calabrian faction but were cohorts with the Rizzutos.

These articles seem most accurate with all the research and information that's been flowing over the last 2-3 years. To my understanding, members of the old Calabrian faction, D'Amicos, Piccirilli and other cells in the Montreal mafia went to Ontario and sought the help of established families for support, mainly the Violis-Luppinos but also the Siderno Group. Sal Montagna is also a large piece to the puzzle as he consolidated his power in Canada through working out deals with the Ndrangheta and support from the Five Families.

Remember that in 2008, Operation Reckoning nabbed hundreds of Mexican cartel members for a 14 ton cocaine bust, but 14 people were Calabrian, 8 in Calabria and 6 in New York. They are the new brokers of cocaine and most likely with the Five Families needed Montreal as an outlet for import and export.
