Commission? What Commission.
Canada doesnt give a f**k about NY. Montreal has serious links to South America and the homeland.
NY has no commission and no say. Sal Montagna, acting, was clipped up here. That's how much respect Vito has for NY. What are/have/can they do about it? Nothing.
NY's got as much influence in Montreal as it has a commission.
The Commission today
The Commission is still reported to exist today, though its current membership is composed of only the bosses of the Five Families and the Chicago Outfit. Its activities, like much of the Mafia in general, have receded from public view as a matter of necessity. Because of law enforcement scrutiny, the five New York City bosses have not met since Paul Castellano was killed in 1985.[2] However, while the Commission no longer meets in person, they still must approve major actions. Mini meetings between two (or more) bosses still take place.[2] In 2000, representatives of the Five Families (three bosses, one consigliere and a member of the Genovese ruling panel) did meet.[2] Instead of a meeting of bosses, underlings such as underbosses or captains meet secretly to discuss the business and govern. Does this help answer your comments smart guy?
Well set aside the 2000 meeting for second, if theres a conflicts of interest between two families and they need to meet to settle it or if therrs a situation where two families have a joint business venture and work together could that really be considered a commision? Some experts say the commision ceased to exist after the big case in 1985, others argue that it stopped being that long before that. Remember the purpose of the commision was to be the ruling body of the entire american mafia. And a need for such body just doesnt exist today.
