This thing is a lot like the Godfather.." See, all our people are businessmen, their loyalty is based on that..".
(Not to the Bonnano " Family", or anything like that... now if an association with the Bonnanos gets them paid... they will placate the situation. This is what Montagna apparently couldn't figure out... They backed him because they thought letting him take out the Rizzutos would increase THEIR OWN SHARE of the Montreal rackets. Then he tried to play the big boss, got greedy, and quickly got wacked... )
I think Vito had the kind of magnetic charisma, combined with his pedigree and contacts to impose a kind of benevolent hegemony, these other guys dont have that level of respect yet. So any alliance is going to be a temporary matter of convienence.
Unless a long term business arrangement is made.
Look at the Calabrians fucking members of the Wolfpack out of their payment. That was colossally stupid. As long as they had a supply source, they could have stolen them from the Rizzutos. They pushed them into Montreals orbit, with the same type of arrogant stupidity Montagna showed...
