It's funny if you think about it. Andriacchi, DiFronzo, DAmico, anyone who seems remotely capable, are all old as s**t. So if you figure they have limited operational involvement, the statement effectively translates to:

Pudge Matassa, Albie, Toots, Fratto and a bunch of similarly unimpressive people "control western Canada."

By what mechanism would they "control" it. Perhaps you are suggesting while they don't use violence in Chicago, they're wasting people left or right up there.
