You're very right. Just like NY needed to line up interests with bosses in Sicily to take Galante down, the Canadian bosses/captains lost their legitimacy in the eyes of their local competitors when their foreign padrones collapsed.

In other words, the Canadian hot war ran in tandem with a cold war in two other countries and another continent.

Likewise the conflict between Galante/Bonanno/Persico versus the rest of the Commission IE Tieri-Castellano-Corallo was a hot war mirroring whatever cold war that was being waged by the Inzerillo-Di Maggio-Gambino group against the Castellemarese and whatever other clans were with them. I'm making educated guesses here only.
