Good points

I think it really depends on the province.
In Quebec, I think the weights of the made men in the street as really slowed down. People in Montreal fear more the bikers than the Mafia. Espacially now, since many old timers are dead. But, people fear more the hells now.

In Ontario, it look lile the hells angels don’t hold weight like the chapters in Quebec. Many gangs in Toronto are supplied by other organizations, like the ndrangheta, jamaican posses (like the shower posses), asian crime groups, russians or others. So the weight of a full patch is less important in Ontario.
In Hamilton, I guess the weight of a made men is bigger than a full patch.
