That's what's made the Rizzutos so hard to read over the years. I think it comes with the more unique set up of Italian OC in Canada, where the lines between the Sicilian Mafia, the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta, and the American LCN are not as clear as they are in the U.S. This has led to a lot of debates ranging between - what I've always thought - were two extremes. One, the Rizzutos just being a faction of the Bonanno family. And the other, the Rizzutos being the "Sixth Family." I've always thought the truth fell somewhere in the middle.
