* Éric Thibault wrote that article, back in April of this year, in which he indicates no one wants to be in charge of the Montreal Mafia. Compare this article with Peter Edwards's article from yesterday. You'll recall that in Thibault's article, he cited a senior law-enforcement officer who said that even the 'ndrangheta in Ontario, where Paolo Violi's sons live, don't seem to want to be in control of Montreal; and that, furthermore, if members of the 'ndrangheta in Ontario are networking in Quebec, they don't seem to have the resolve or the will to make a breakthrough in Montreal.
* Of the seven leaders of the Siderno Group's 'ndrine in the GTA who were identified in 2010, I believe that Cosimo Commisso is the only one of those leaders who isn't in prison or a fugitive. The Commissos in the GTA wield a lot of power and influence, but Cosimo still had only one vote on the camera di controllo. The poster eurodave164 occasionally asks whether the GTA Siderno Group is heeding orders from Calabria or not, as the Siderno Group in the Toronto area is supposed to answer to those back home. I think the 'ndrine here have not been getting along because they aren't listening to people like Rocco Aquino, who is the head of the Marina di Gioiosa Ionica locale.
