The Montreal crew was de facto indipendent and become indipendent stop to paying tribute to Massino after Sciascia murder; Montagna after was deported back to canada was a simple soldier that tried to take the rizzuto family and doesn't had real power because was easly whacked.
Montreal kept sending tribute to NY for years and years after the Sciascia murder and to say that Montagna didn't have any power and was 'easily' whacked is complete and utter bullshit.
