He was definitely involved in what was going on, but as you point out he wasn't alone and far from it. He didn't have the pull or sway in Montreal to save his own life, going up against much bigger fish.
And who would this bigger fish might be? I know you're thinking of Joe Di Maulo, but his involvement is less evident than that of Montagna. This was a war between Desjardins and Montagna. The rest is speculation. And there's a difference between being involved and being a pawn and that is what this discussion was all about. Calling Montagna a pawn is plain igorance. And just for the record: I don't favor the guy at all and couldn't care less he's gone. I'm only following the tracks.
The rest of the Montreal mafia and Ontario elements lol....Being a mafioso from NYC doesn't mean he can just come here and dictate as he pleased. As you've surely read the articles, he wasn't very well liked within the community.
Sorry Sunny, but some of us Canadian posters might have a better clue.
