Canadian criminal world

The Canadian criminal world is really fascinating.

This post is to talk about all the factions of the criminal world of each provinces and territories of Canada.
Would like to know who are the factors of each provinces. What are there activities.
How the different groups are linked to groups outside there provinces.
The crime rate of different cities etc

In the biker world, the Hells Angels is the top biker club in all of Canada. In Quebec, they have no rivalry and they reign supreme.
The Quebec chapters and the BC chapters are some of the most wealthy biker clubs in the world.

In the other provinces, even tough the hells angels are number one, there are still other groups that are strong and not puppet clubs.
You have the presence of the Outlaws MC in many provinces, like Ontario.
In the 70s, the Outlaws MC were in the province of Quebec, but they lost the first Biker war in Quebec against the Hells Angels.
The Bacchus MC is a big factor in the Maritimes provinces.

In Quebec, there were many biker wars, the most famous was the second biker war between the Hells Angels and the Rock Machine.

-Satan’s Choice MC from Ontario vs Popeye’s MC from Quebec, wich result with the death of 20 persons.from 1974 to 1976
- the First biker war from 1977 to 1984, in Quebec and Ontario, between the Hells Angels MC and Outlaws MC, which result with the death of 62 to 72 peoples. The Hells Angels won that war.
- the second biker (also known a Quebec biker war) from 1994 to 2002, between the Hells Angels MC and the Rock Machine MC. Which result with more than 160 deaths.

The street gangs scene is very diverse in Canada. Just like other countries.
You have many different groups that are simply street gangs, but many of those street gangs that are mentioned in the news are more than street gangs, they are organized crime groups.

In the Prairies the most well known gangs are from Natives. Groups like the Manitoba Warriors, Saskatchewan Warriors, Alberta Warriors, Red alert, Indian Posse and others. They are a major factor in the jail system.
Cities like winnipeg are very violent, and are known to have a high murder rate.


In recent years, the gangs of British Columbia have been making the news alot more. Gangs of different ethnicities are at war. You have the most well known gangs like UN, Red Scorpions, Independant Soldiers. Those gangs are made of of indian/punjabi but also white people, asians and probably other ethnicities to a lesser degrees. In 2009, there was a war between those gangs.

Now there seem to be new players in the gang scene of Vancouver, groups like Brother’s Keepers and BIBO gang, and they are really active in the new 2021/2022 gangs war of Vancouver.

Nice links

Good infos about the punjabi groups bring a factor in the drugs world in Ontario.
Crazy how the criminal drug world has two aspects and certain groups are sometime part of tjose two aspects.
Importation of the drugs : you most have many contacts outside of the country, a crazy cash flow, and many contacts.
Distribution on the streets: have many guys, be fear by other organizations, control of the streets

Look like the punjabi gangs have the two aspects in BC.
But in Ontario, look like they only got the first aspect, or maybe im wrong

Those Jamaican posses are based predominantly in Kingston, London, New York City and Toronto.

Yes in Canada, the jamaican got a strong presence in Canada. Mostly Toronto.
Since Toronto got a huge jamaican population, the Shower Posse were and a stilll probably a factor in the drug buisness in the city. Many jamaican-Canadian gangs were getting there drugs from the Shower Posse and maybe other posses from Jamaica.

In the 80s and early 90s, jamaican crews were also heavy on the western part of Montreal City. Hoods like cote des neiges, ndg, lil burgundy, lasalle and lachine were full of jamaican gangsters. Crews like the bronx massive, grand massive, wakley crew, goodfellas and others. Those groups were probably link to some posses from jamaica.

Just caught up with this forum.
This was published today by Anna Sergi and it's open access - it is mostly about Hamilton, but has some references to all of Ontario (and of course the 'ndrangheta too). Not much that posters here don't already know, but I guess the overall structuring of the argument is interesting and the quotes too.
