I dont know much about the Canadian underworld so id like to know, Who runs Canada now? is it still the Rizzutos or Calabrians? And the Calabrians in Canada are they Ndrangheta or just tied to Ndrangheta?
Some may disagree, but at the moment the way I see things, the Calabrian Ndrangheta in Ontario have surpassed any other Italian mafia present in Canada. The Sicilian clan in Montreal have lost ground, they now have to share territory with other mafia clans such as the Calabrian Scoppa/Mirachi clan(s) supported by the Ontario Ndrangheta.
With regards to the Bikers, basically all Italians clans to do business with them.
There is also something going with the West end gang/Irish clan. I do not know if there is internal fighting or if they are being targeted by other clans. There seems to be greater activity in recent months of molotov bombings of houses, cars and businesses and shootings. Arab clans also being targeted.
in my opinion cosa nostra (both sicilian and american) is still the dominant italian criminal group in canada scoppa and mirarchi are probably members of bonanno and there is not any proof ontario ndrangheta supported them there are still several rizzuto mobsters in freedom leonardo rizzuto, poncho cun tre ra, stefano sollecito, nicola spagnolo, frank arcadi,charles renda and others also i think in montreal italian mafia is the strongest criminal group and the rizzuto's are the most connected both with hells and haitian gangs
-Luppino's are related by marriage to a well known Ndrangheta family in Toronto -Recent media reports & arrests have linked Violi/Luppino to the Bonanno's -Recent media reports also have reported ties between Violi & Hells in Ontario -Arrests in NY link several NY families with the Ndrangheta -several high ranking members of the Rizzuto were killed by Haitian hitmen proving that not all Haitian gangs are with the Rizzuto's as you state. -Nicola Cortese (Ontario) was in Montreal at the time N.Rizzuto Sr. was shot. Nicola wasn't in Quebec looking for Caribou to hunt. -Several members of the Montreal clans opposing the Rizzutos were caught by police surveillance meeting with ndrangheta members in Toronto & Hamilton before and after some of the high profile shootings in Montreal -Cuntrera's (Ontario)were often caught on surveillance meeting with ndrangheta members. -Ranieri, Rizzuto's point man in Ontario had to flee to Mexico and killed,received the same fate as his predecessors. -Most of the Italian clans in Montreal all do business with Hells not just the Rizzuto.
But surprisingly ever since the fallout between Rizzuto & Messino I haven't seen any interrelations between the Rizzuto clan and any of the NY families but there are between the Luppino/Violi/Ndrangheta. Prior to the war between factions of the Rizzuto clan, they were much bigger under Vito and more in control. The war has fractured and weakened them. Territories have been partitioned between them & opposing clans. This is a present snap shot of how I perceive it to be based on media, police reports and criminologists. They may once again regain their power in the distant future but at the moment they are one clan among the others.
