The area is close to the highway, but quiet enough so that there are only a few intersections with traffic lights nearby. Despite its unremarkable appearance, the plaza was once home to the Consenza Social Club, the former headquarters of the Rizzuto crime family and a known hangout for Montreal mobsters. A number of reporters and members of the public have labelled this decline the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. With this shift, the Rizzutos have left a legacy as perhaps the most famous crime family in Canadian history.
Much like the plaza, there is nothing about Montreal that makes it look or feel distinctly like a city with deep ties to organized crime. It is difficult to say why Montreal became such a hub for these activities; however, its roots stem from the midth century, when Montreal was growing rapidly, making it a natural landing spot for recent immigrants from Europe. Perhaps part of the reason that Montreal does not seem like a natural fit for organized crime is that our vision of that world is partially shaped by films and other entertainment.
In contrast to the actors of the film, Vito Rizzuto was known for keeping a low profile, dealing primarily with close, trusted associates as head of the family.

To date no Hells Angel has been implicated in any of the Rizzuto murders. Bikers have not been getting killed or shot at. Seems very much mafioso based violence. I have no doubt that those with "with links to the HA" are being used as hitmen but to say that they are looking to usurp the position of the Rizzutos is absurd. All theories pointed to Montagana not the Hells as the leader of those trying to oust the Rizzutos. Just as he will need to work with them to distribute cocaine.
As they have a proven history of doing. Your theory is sensationalist and as of yet unsubstaintiated. Seems many of your readers agree with me given the comments left on related articles.
