 The new boss of the Buffalo Mafia is a Canuck. Domenico Violi is a salesman, husband, father of two & from Hamilton Ontario & is active in the Italian community there. Hamilton is about half way between Toronto & Buffalo. OMG I never thought I would see the day when a Canuck was the "Godfather" of the Buffalo mob.

Live respected, die regretted

They have probably been running it for years Tommy out of Hamilton or Montreal. They made a fortune up here getting the contracts for major cement projects like building bridges stadiums etc. They were using inferior produce to do the work and it' s now coming around to haunt us. You will probably find that when Buffalo did it's revitalization to the downtown core that they had a big hand in it. When you first look at it you think that the major companies doing the bidding are all above board but when you peel back the layers will find the mob is behind it. Any company that is into cement or even resurfacing highways is Italian owned, so take it from there. The days of making their money from gambling, running booze or prositution are long gone. They rob us all openly now. When I was in Egypt there was the Cairo mafia which controled the black markets from top to bottom. They were paying Italians living there to take holidays to Italy to carry and take gold out of the country for them. It's surprising what you hear or see going on when you attend a Catholic church in Cairo or Alexandra. It you wanted to get the most for your American or Canadian dollar them through a friend from the Italian embassy you were introduced to them. To buy one Egyptian pound at an Egyptian bank cost you $2.50. Through them for every dollar you gave them, you got  2 1/2 Egyptian pounds, so as you see it was a way better deal. They preferred to deal in 100 dollar bills if possible.

It looks like the Canadians aren't as meek and mild as you make out.

I will be proven right, Mark. The former boss was an old "mustache Pete" right from Sicily & he ran it for years. He was succeeded by a pizza shop owner who recently "retired." The latest guy is too meek & mild to succeed. Canadians are like Casper Milktoast.

It's from watching all that American TV Mark that we are forced to watch. Lucky we aren't worse that we are.

I think that Canadian has been running the Buffalo operation a little longer that you think Tommy. Apparently he has a direct channel to the NY families from there.

I will give you a hint. It's also from a cartoon character. If you google it you will have the answer.
