thank you hollander. nice to meet u as well ghost. i am not italian. the conflict is indeed between the rizzuto/sollecito clan and the robert/plouffe faction of the montreal hells angels chapter. it is over control of the book and is alleged to have been going on since 2022+-. in numbers and territory the hells angels are superior to the rizzuto/sollecito clan and all other mafia clans in quebec/montreal. the state i.e. the province of quebec is not working with bikers or the mafia. with that being said both the mafia in general and the hells angels have in the past and i can only assume currently as well have connections into gov't and legit business. however the corruption is in no way on the same plain as in italy or what it was in the past in montreal for example.
