It did not kill the relationship, although the Bonannos began losing their grip on Montreal from then on. Vitale and another Bonanno top guy visited Montreal two years later and they were received with respect. They offered Vito Rizzuto to become the new caporegime, but he declined and suggested his father instead. Recently there have been cases that have proven that there is still a relationship, such as the recent drug bust of Alessandro Taloni, who acted as a go-between of Montreal and New York. Also, when Rizzuto arrived in Canada last year he reportedly met with New York represenatives in Toronto.
