during the 1990s the Montreal crew had a total of about 20 made guys and they were all considered members of the bonnano family. according to Sal Vitale, the last time there was a tribute payment from montreal to new york was in 1999. I believe they stopped kicking up after George from Canada was murdered.


Even then you gotta believe that they only kicked in any tributes was because Rizzuto and Sciascia were close. Not sure what Massino was thinking by clipping Sciascia at the time but he lost the most powerful branch in his family because of it.



Joey "The Whale" Massino was doing his best impression of Nicky "Shoe Lifts" Scarfo when he had George whacked.George didn't trust or like Anthony "T.G." Graziano for a variety of reasons,including his supposed propensity to go on coke binges with high-priced call girls.George let his feelings be known to many,including Joey The Whale.Graziano was a Massino favorite.Massino interpreted George's complaints as questioning his judgement and leadership abilities,much like Salvie Testa's legitimate complaints about Chuckie Merlino's drinking were viewed by Nicky Scarfo.Massino even said exactly the same thing about George----"he's getting too big for his britches"---that Scarfo said about Salvie when giving the order whack him to incredulous underlings.
