How can you tell if a person was killed by the Canadian Mafia? When they pull a body out of lake Ontario....arms tied up by a hockey stick and feet weighed down by a pair of curling stones.
And a bottle of Labatt's in their pocket.

No not really, I was strictly speaking within the Family. The killing had nothing to do with the Family. That would be my understanding of it.

“I always wondered if the US government gave the Italian/Sicilian Mafia the rights to the US drug trade and the US government would turn a blind eye”
Wait, you’re saying they didn’t?
To: Boogieman
Nope, otherwise there wouldn’t be Mexican, Russian and islamic, whoever drug cartels.

I'm not suggesting that the Mafia is necessarily benign, but oddly, they did provide a certain pacifying street presence. I know a lady who lived in southern Manhattan in the 1970's. Down the block was a chapter of the Hells Angels. The Angels did not want a heavy police presence in the area, so the word was out that no street crime would be tolerated. The neighborhood was VERY safe.
Similar dynamics apply to the Mafia. Plus, their families, and friends of family members live in the area, and it's easier to just put out the word that unsanctioned thuggery will not be tolerated.

Not bad at all. Now that I reside in sunny (ha!) Iowa, I am rethinking my move from Canada to the land of Ronald Reagan which has transposed to the land of Osama bin Barack.

Thank you.
Boy oh boy. I see the Muslim in Chief here, and compare him to Steven Harper, and the differences in unemployment rates (and their trends), and I really sometimes think about going back.

Reading, PA NEVER had it so good when the Mafia ran it (years and years ago). Same with Scranton. Now, the politicians are the crooks.
