However, that you could compare the size of the Italian community in Montreal and Toronto with Cleveland and Detroit doesn't necessarily have to mean that there would also be the same amount of Italian criminals. Ratios can differ from place to place.


I'm a stats and figures guy, by nature, but I agree that the ratios in the Canadian cities don't necessarily reflect those in the U.S. But looking that the numbers, it is hard to believe there are "hundreds" of Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta members there.

So you're stating that the 'Ndrangheta families in Toronto have only 40 men in total? That would explain a lot of their supposed power. Could you direct me to the source which state this? I'm very curious.


That was how many Italian prosecutors cited in their report. There's an extensive article about it below -
