^^^^ Thanks for posting.... I thought this was interesting:

As number two in the organization, some 30 Mafiosi are now under his command, mainly in the United States, but also in Hamilton, says Domenico Violi.


I also found this interesting about the situation in Montreal:

Quote
Meanwhile in Montreal
In September 2016, Domenico Violi says that the situation is stabilizing in the Quebec metropolis. Everyone is working together nowadays, the old barriers are gone, he said, according to the double agent.

Domenico Violi invited him to meet Frank Arcadi, Frank Cotroni Jr. and Antonio "Tony" Mucci.



Quick note about this thread... I want to make a correction to my opening post. I wrote:

...Of course we now have a copy of a conversation between Pat Musitano and Johnny Catz of Buffalo that shows the two families were still tight and working together—indicating Buffalo did order the hit on Pops.


I should have wrote: "--indicating Buffalo did give permission for the hit on Pops.

I'd go back and make that edit, but can't. I think this shows Buffalo was still strong enough they needed to be consulted, but doesn't indicate they ordered it.
