Well that's debatable. The only person who said that was Sal Vitale and he was not privy to important matters even though he was the underboss. None of the captains trusted him and Massino went as far as forbidding him to speak with his captains. Furthermore IMO they MOntreal ports were by rights the Bananno's and it is just too much money for Massino to walk away from so easily. Also there were numerous times when Quebecois mafiosi were seen in NY and vice versa well after Sciascia was whacked (Vitale claimed that after Sciascia was killed that ties between NY and Montreal were severe). Nevertheless knowledgeable posters like MickeyMeatballs believe ties were severed after George from Canada was hit an I admit they have a very sound basis for that speculation.
