There was a time when the power of the USA mafia (Italian descended) was unrivaled by anyone with the exception of the groups in Italy. Families were in New York, Chicago, Philly, Cleveland, Detroit, New England, Jersey, LA, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, etc.
Law enforcement started to crack down in the eighties and nineties, and now they're influence is held in check outside of the Northeast and Chicago. But what about Canada? We all know the story of the Rizzuto's rise to power in the seventies and becoming the Godfathers of Canada and then their fall within the last few years. But even with the war in Montreal mob influence is still strong and now reports are coming in that the Calabrian Mafia has a solid presence in the GTA. So it would seem that the tide has flipped.
Is it true that the Italian Mafia in Canada has surpassed the one in the USA? Thoughts?
Are you actually asking if LCN in Canada has surpassed the US? If so the answer is no but you haven't specified in what sense so it could be yes but in most categories the answer is no. Possibly this will happen in the next 5-10 year but atm it's far from it.
