I actually said above that I can't quote on Canada. The liberal laws there and overall failure to adapt to criminal problems enable them to continue in their war. If that happened in any american city it would be way different. Unlike many other posters here I also feel that the Montreal mafia is way more European based and concentrated. They are not a bonnano Sattelite. They follow old world ideals that are more CN, nagdrahta (sp), Camorra etc. than American LCN.
