Murdered mob boss Pat Musitano symbolized Ontario's Mafia with his gangster chic — and the mayhem that shadowed him

https://www.capebretonpost.com/news...and-the-mayhem-that-shadowed-him-472463/

Anyone hear BS about Papalia from undercovers, like Sam Moore in Hamilton, guy used to be a Vice cop. He married a relative of a Speziale from Railway. Goes around spreading lies, and putting people in situations where they gotta make up lies to get people killed.

Guys like this help create these scenarios and are expecting a promotion or drug money? Or both lol

Molochiolndiced, what are you going on about? What BS about Papalia? Are you talking about Johnny Pops? Are talking about the current Papalia family with Patrick "Nick" Papalia being Frank Bifulco favorite guy up in Canada? About the Papalia family being mad on a number of issues with the Musitano family and Buffalo. Joe Todaro Sr died so most of the beef they had with Buffalo died with Todaro. They were still mad about Johnny pops being killed by the Musitanos. They were in agreement with the Luppinos although Violi also was displeased with the Musitanos doing more business with the Sicilians in GTA. They were mad that the Musitanos pulled the rug from out under them in a multi million project. All of which is true. So again what BS are you talking about?

‘Things are right up close, personal.’ Pat Musitano’s hitman shares tales of working for Hamilton mobster

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/20...of-working-for-the-hamilton-mobster.html

None of that stuff, which all seems true. Ask that loser cop if you know him, and all his pussy buddies. See how guys like that fit into to all the stuff that has gone down in Hamilton since 2014, involving everyone around there.

Not implying anyone Papalia, Violi/Luppino are a Narc, just that people like that cop will say or make up anything for a dollar or a promotion.

They are an invisible part of business that never gets mentioned and are free to fan the flames and are never held responsible for the problems they start. Cops are a gang unto themselves, the worst of all IMO.

I apologize if it seemed I was implying anyone was somehow working with LE.

Pat Musitano killing opens the door for turnover in Hamilton Mafia underworld, expert says

Mafia experts say Burlington, Ont., shooting death of Hamilton’s Musitano ‘not suprising’

https://globalnews.ca/news/7173414/mafia-experts-shooting-of-hamiltons-musitano-not-suprising/

https://gangsterreport.com/fat-pat-...ontreal-it-ultimately-led-to-his-murder/

Some interesting points here, didn't realize that a Papalia enforcer, Enio Mora, was also whacked back in '97 prior to Papalia. Also didn't know that the Violi brothers and members of the Luppino clan were next on the list. Must have been Fat Pat who arranged the murder of the Luppino son last year along with Iavarone.

Had to have been

About a dozen murders have been linked to this feud, but it's probably more complex than just Musitano vs Luppino/Violi.

They set pinos house on fire and spray painted the word rat

What they are saying here is that the word 'rat' was painted on Avignone's garage door and 2 cars set on fire in the driveway. Not suprised really, it was the smart move. If Pino didn't help set up Pat he would be the next one wacked.

Canada, a 5-year mafia war
Gioacchino Criaco - 18 July 2020

Thirty deaths in the past five years in the Great Lakes region, Ontario, and from Montreal to Toronto. According to the official reports of the Red Jackets. In parallel, an unofficial relationship would greatly increase the killed victims, and in the murmurs of the underworld the river of the killed would have a longer, broader course. Formally there is, in Canada, a single large family of mafia: a hybrid born as a filiation of our American thing but formed above all by criminals from the province of Reggio Calabria, whose leaders over a century have all become Calabrian as well as the affiliation ceremony. The Canadian mafia is now considered alone 'ndrangheta , a single family with many places where there should be no conflict, and officially no one admits them, no one intends the dead except those accused of having attacked the lives of other affiliates.

But except for a few murders, the origin remains a mystery. Who kills who, and why, if we are all children of the same mother? The last to ask is lying on the lawn of a Burlington parking lot , a stone's throw from Hamilton: Pasquale "Fat Pat" Musitano got out of his armored suv with his trusted men, Pino Avignon and John Clary. He was a big man of 200 kilos, already survived two ambushes, he didn't trust anyone, yet a lone killer screwed him. It came from Aspromonte his blood shed on the ground, like that of Pino Avignone who is in intensive care. Perhaps he is now in the right place to understand the truth, he has reached his brother Angelo, who was also killed three years ago, almost inside the house, by someone who did not seem to be an enemy.

Thousands and thousands of kilometers away and the Aspromontan tragedy followed its bad boys: the art of deception, of attributing blame to those who do not really have it, of bringing others to kill each other considering themselves the victims of ambushes of others, and finally triumph over everyone's stupidity. Decades of murders among the Irish, the Latinos, the Jewish mafia, the motorcycle gangs, all subordinates and customers of the large 'Ndrangheta family. Wars, clarifications and truce, and nobody knows who really re-triggers the slaughter every time. The Musitano as ndrina no longer exist, erased from the plot, they who had erased the Papalia 'ndrina, driven by the same plot. The mafiosi in Canada kill each other, and nobody really knows why, every time they think they have identified the enemy, afterwards, they understand that they have fallen into yet another trap.

It is the strategy of the cuckoo, daughter of the Aspromontan Greece born before the Greek Greece. It is the song of the cuckoo, born long before the song of the goat, the tragedy. Fat Pat Avignone and the many gangsters who preceded him were thrown out of their nest by a bird of prey born from a foreign egg that someone put inside. Only at the end of the slaughter will the mystery be clarified.

Police say they have ‘very solid leads’ in identifying suspects in killing of former business partner of slain mobster Pat Musitano

https://www.thespec.com/ts/news/gta...rtner-of-slain-mobster-pat-musitano.html

the HA and outlaws mc have chapters in london and there has been claimed an 'ndrangheta 'ndrine in the city but last info came from an initiation ceremont in 1987 i think.

I'm always amazed at the level of gang wars and struggles for supremacy in Canada. Whether it be Montreal, Toronto, or elsewhere. In this day and age of 2020, they operate like it's 1950s New York or Chicago.

These N'dranghetista are wild. For that matter the Sicilian nationals aren't much better. If this was in the United States the justice department would have cracked down on them much the same as they did in NYC back in the early and mid-1990s during the "Third Colombo War".

And the multitude of factions operating there; Sicilian Mafia, Calabrian N'drangheta, Hells Angels, street gangs, drug gangs, Irish crew, Haitians, etc etc is mind boggling....truly a mixed bag up in Canada.

It's all about drugs in Canada.
