Canada is such a mystery how could the 2 brothers and a few associates have any sort of real power in the region?

I might have to break down and read a book or two to begin to have an understanding of what is going o up North.


Thats why many of these Canadian based crews became affiliated with traditional Cosa Nostra Families from across the border in the USA like the Buffalo and Bonanno Families. These outfits like the Musitano, etc., were Calabrian N'drangheta members who operated small "cells" of members, clans, whose central "command" for the most part was back in Calabria. So in North America they went "under" the auspices of larger established Mafia families like the Magaddino's.

The Musitano's drew their "original" power from their father Dominick who was closely tied to the N'drangheta back in Italy. Giacomo Luppino was similar to Musitano (although I firmly believe Luppino was on a much higher level than Musitano, Papalia, and others).

After the fathers death the boys (his sons) were never as powerful IMO.
