- Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history with his unique perception of the mafia. In this episode, he interviews Peter Edwards, a reporter from the Toronto Star who specializes in covering organized crime.
Sicilian Mafia in Canada: The discussion delves into the history of the Sicilian Mafia's presence in Canada, focusing on the 1950s and the influence of individuals like Carmen Galante. The conversation also highlights the role of Frank Catroni, Vic Catroni, Nicoli Rizzuto, and Vito Rizzuto of the Montreal Mafia.
Power Struggles: The conversation covers the power struggles within the Montreal Mafia, including Vito Rizzuto's leadership and subsequent imprisonment in the United States. The murder of three Capos in New York is mentioned, and the intriguing involvement of a mob figure from Montreal in that event is discussed.
Changing Alliances: Peter Edwards discusses how organized crime in Canada is evolving, with a shift away from strict family lines. He emphasizes the importance of alliances and connections between different criminal groups, which have become more prevalent with the advent of the Internet.
Hells Angels: The conversation turns to the Hells Angels, exploring their rise in Canada. They discuss the structured nature of the Hells Angels and their complex, sometimes unscrupulous, alliances. The shift from being "thugs" to a formidable organization is highlighted.
Modern Activities: The discussion touches on the diversified activities of organized crime, including involvement in strip clubs, girls, and white-collar crimes. The role of gambling in power struggles between different crime groups is also mentioned.
Organization and Alliances: The conversation elaborates on the structure and alliances of the Hells Angels. It is noted that the Hells Angels prefer to be seen as equals rather than a pyramid structure, which is common in the traditional mafia.

Another great video Gary. Peter Edwards is a very prolific author in Canada and an expert on OC Canada wide. He also writes books with other journalists and academics about Canadian OC. I really would like him to write a book on the Hamilton/Niagara borderlands with upper state NY.
@@kaliyuga9406 he was a great guest.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective You are very fortunate you get to meet these guys. Thank you. I have enjoyed your videos very much. I notice you have a podcast and intend to give them a listen as well.
I tell people all the time, organized crime in Canada is on a whole different level... Even the notorious 1%er biker gangs (err.. clubs); during the 1990s they made their American counterparts look like boy scouts!
Side note, I wonder why he didn't mention the Calabrians (such as the Siderno group)? Would have loved to know his opinion on whether or not they run the show today, which is what I believe...
They got their vendetta on the Rizzutos, even if it was decades later, and are (somewhat) quietly running their rackets on a major scale.
Another great video gary. Always appreciate everything you put up is good quality organised crime stories without all the drama, crap and fluff you have to put up with when watching all the other content creators. Keep giving us the goods Gary its very much appreciated
Thanks I’m pretty much all about get the facts out. I don’t have time to have a “sit down” and put on a show like I’m still a real mobster. Maybe I should get a mob guy to do a police interrogation with me. The old scroll kind. 🥴
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective haha nah Gary you keep doing what you're doing. Always learn something new with you and. About more obscure characters and families rather than the same old boring John gotti stories.
That was a good conversation !!
Yeah he was a great interview
1st class Interview Gary, Thoroughly enjoyed it, Cheers
Thanks my friend
Ooops. TYSVM for using the video description box thoroughly. So many creators skip that step and so I do not bother watching them any longer. I send them one last email about it, but it goes ignored. LOL, Happy Sunday, Casey in AZ
Happy Sunday Gary and thank you so very much for taking time with Peter. He is a faithful and gr8 reporter, whose safety I worry about. The mobsters in Canada do not seem to care where or when they blast away at others. It was good to see you both alive today! Casey in AZ
I agree
Great show Thanks Gary -
Intelligence is a great series to watch. It was canceled because it’s too close for comfort for some!
Probably the best series like this I have ever seen.
Lived in Vancouver for a number of years. It’s filmed there. Cool to see buildings etc., that you know.
There is a rumour it was shut down because it’s too close to the truth.
Who knows.
But agree, excellent series.
Edit: one other thing I thought of after watching show. Around 2010 I was at a new pub/bar downtown Van and only option was cash (no debit/credit).
However, they did have a ‘bank machine’ that charged a ridiculous amount to use.
After watching show, put two and two together, who ran it.
Well they just caught 10 Gambino's here in USA so the family is still around here in US
Yeah I saw that. In the waste industry?
The five families will always be a part of NYC history, but even more so as time goes on..
Here in Edmonton Ab we had a gangster killed and his 11 year old son were killed in broad day light leaving an A&W.
Dang they kill kids too, very bad people.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective intentionaly
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective I don't think we have Italian OC here.Mainly Asian and bikers and lots of "guests from Vancouver.
@@petertoupin7246 yeah you are probably right. All the Italian mafia types I ever noticed were in Montreal, Toronto and the other eastern cities.
They no nothing about Canada lol. A bridge seperates us period! We are not living in the woods 😂😂
Well I have to disagree Peter knows Canada.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective i know peter does. Hes pretty famous here. I was kidding around a bit with ya of some of your questions. I know you're doing a interview
@@bobbybright9334 oh I see. Yes I don’t even think much about Canadian Mafia. Guess it’s my American arrogance.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective lol no it isn't that. Here in Canada we get mostly American television! The politics etc. I don't think you have any Canadian channels or much of anything Canadian! Maybe in border cities you might but i don't know for sure. But we have the same stuff here propaganda and all lol.
You do great interviews Gary i like your platform
