Camarel I meant more in the sense that the Canadian mafia (espeically in the GTA) holds more influence than the US. Only in New York does the mob still infliltrate Unions, bribe officials, are heavily involved in construction and maybe are somewhat involved in the drug trade. Philly, NE, NJ, and chicago are basically loansharking, gambling, extortion, maybe some labor racketeering, money laundering and the occasional murder. But it seems the Mob in Canada runs without as much pressure as it does in the US. The FBI are constantly trying to bust these guys. In Canada how many cases do you hear of Joey the Ballbreaker getting 5 years on extortion charges?
