Wow the HA’s backing Raynald is definitely interesting, especially considering Boucher was ready to hit him in jail. Could explain how he’s lived this long but how long can his luck run?
And yea he’s definitely not a mob flunkie for sure. Dude is without a doubt one of the top non Italian gangsters in Montreal and has been that way for a long time but once again how long can the HA’s keep protecting him with a target on his back? If Sollecito/Rizzuto does not get things in gear up there the Sicilians will be wiped out for sure with this lack of action on their part. I don’t think they were behind Woolley’s death either, I think that was either the HA’s or the Arab’s at this point
Woolley was their muscle and they were seen at his funeral so I'd say it's 100% they weren't behind his murder.
But I wouldn't say they've been lying down. They were probably behind Chit Del Balso's murder last year and it looks like Chit switched sides and allied with the HAs. That was a big hit, and very professionally done.
