I don't follow Canada as closely as I should. I usually defer to posters like Sonny_Black (he's a walking encyclopedia on the topic ).

But I have to say, IF Rizzuto turns out to be behind this, and IF he ends up the last man standing, that guy is as old school and savvy and old soul Sicilian as God ever made. Because everyone---BUT EVERYONE---wrote the guy off.

Even if you don't approve of the criminal life (and to be honest, you probably shouldn't), you have to respect the balls and the savvy of a guy like that. It's mind boggling.
