nothing wrong with some critical thinking ciment. at times this site is where one can find some. keep it up. one has to think outside the box when discussing montreal. the HA are by far superior to the mafia in quebec in both total numbers and criminal territory and control. quebec is a huge province where the HA has near total dominance of a wide variety of rackets. what territory can the mafia claim total control of? mtl, r.d.p,laval? sharing most of this with street gangs. also the mafias reach in canada is not national. it has a presence in quebec and ontario mostly situated in mtl,laval,toronto and hamilton. the HA are coast to coast and have been for decades. the HA in quebec control drug market from top to bottom.

likely del balso was laundering the families money not his. and that laundering goes back to mid 2000's that info is not current. if it was why was he recently alleged to be extorting a church for payments. doesnt sound like a crime even a degenerate criminal would do, especially not one sitting on 8 mill.

with that being said what if i, the media and law enforcement are looking at this all wrong. what if the violence committed in the 2020's involving mtl mafia is not internal? what if it is a push on a very weakened mtl mafia that are not united under one leader and in no way holds the type of power it once did? a theory i have been pondering when this stagnant brain comes alive.
