No.

The most likely living Canadian members of the Bonanno Family are in Quebec. Based on Daniel Renaud's 2016 book, the most likely made Bonannos in the Montreal Mafia as of 2004 would be Vito Rizzuto, Rocco Sollecito, Paolo Renda, Nick Rizzuto Sr., Agostino Cuntrera, Lorenzo Giordano, Joe Di Maulo, Moreno Gallo, Francesco Arcadi, Tony Vanelli, and Tony Mucci. Only the last three individuals are alive, with everyone else being murdered except for Vito Rizzuto. Please note that Renaud identified all these individuals as "Homme d'honneur," i.e., made. I don't know why any of those still alive at the time of Vincenzo Morena's Bonanno taped induction ceremony in Canada in November 2015 would have attended.

There were at least five attendees at the ceremony: Morena, acting Bonanno captain Damiano Zummo, possibly Bonanno consigliere John Zancocchio (not sure he held this rank in November 2015), Domenico Violi, and Giuseppe Violi. Why were the Violi brothers there unless they were made Bonannos at the time? Yet Domenico Violi is heard on tape saying he was inducted into the Buffalo Family in January 2015.
