Instead he had to be lured out of his hole. Another example could be when Vito told the Bonanno’s to F themselves too. Granted Vito was very powerful but as shown, he didn’t even need to answer to them to begin with. Yet for many yrs he did
I remember reading about sal Vitale coming up to offer Vito capo position , but he told him everyone's equal or something along those lines ...I wonder what Massino must have been thinking when he heard that ?
And to answer , I think it kind of depends on the area and situation. If they need the protection and influence it would be beneficial to align with a NYC family. But again for Montreal they were better off due to the amount of rats in the family. Probably saved Vito from doing alot more time.
