You are the (IMO) the most knowledgeable on Canada, so I think you will really enjoy those books, Gomorah and the John Dickie book on the Sicilians.


The siclian book is really interesting, as he takes an intellectual approach to explaining the mafia that I have found to be unsurpassed. Particularly his chapter on " THE INDUSTRY OF VIOLENCE IN SICILY", just fascinating shit, also he goes all the way back to Antonio Giammonna, one of the earliest recognized bosses from like 1870!
