Dubro elaborated a bit more on Facebook; he also mentioned another tidbit:
Plus rival Italian coke dealers and quiet newer Ndrangheta cell -both operating on his old turf-BIG problem for Pat and remnants of his family. Also restaurant biz problems....( but "fat Pat" ain't as fat anymore as he had recent stomach tuck surgery:) )
There's a lot of turmoil among the ndrangheta clans in Ontario lately. Seems the landscape is reshaping with new players. I think they're busier fighting among themselves and carving up new territory in Ontario than taking over Montreal...
Could this possibly be linked to the shootings around Toronto a couple of months ago?
