This man is not only a fountain of info on the montreal mafia and organized crime, he also has the experience first hand and speaks his mind and isn't afraid to critique law enforcement when it's needed. Also his presence, voice and just overall tone, makes the viewer totally engaged in what he has to say. I could of watched easily another hour to hear him, and only him speak. I find his experience priceless, his knowledge and understanding of the mtl mob second to none, and his way of improving the police dpt etc shows he will say it straight up how things are and won't sugar coat anything. Aside from needing to have his own podcast n telling stories of his time as a cop, the mtl police dept or even rcmp should give this man a senior level position as an expert when it comes the the mtl mob and how to slow it dwn
not in hour segments they need to be shorter 10 minute segments on a topic and fully answer a question and then upload it into different segments in 10 minute increments and then have one long playlist that you can keep updating do a weekly report !Keep us updated on the latest , on the trials have they made arrests ?
This woman is incredibly disconnected from this whole set of issues and is a needless distraction, very much adversely affecting my resolve to continue listening to this police guy. And I'm at 9 minutes mark... I'll do my best.
@@RR-WhoYouHate was just in mtl when from bus station to via rail station saw liek 15 cops on my way. and they had like 9 inside it. your not looking hard enough. aruond mount royal.they alwasy crusing. they on bikes, they walk, and they have cars. if you don't see them its cuz your blind im sorry. mtl has more cops then almost anyother city in north amarica. exept mabyer sherbooke they have endless amounts here.
So terrific to see this. Visited the deli frequently in the late 70's. The best deli food ever. One of the owners children owns the Centre deli in Toronto.
He is right: Mexican cartels has entered into Canada (as the government have taken out visa requirement to Mexicans). And they make Italian mafia, bikers look like child play.....this is our main problem today (not interest rate, Trudeau traveling, Johnston etc). In Canada we have social peace, where other countries do not...and organized crimes is enemy number 1 of our precious life style now.
Got news for you the cartels never needed your Princess Trudy and his Rainbow mafia for permission. Everyone works together except the alphabet mafia demanding pronouns.
Really well spoken and knowledgeable. This was a great listen, very interesting. I feel more Montrealers should know what's been happening in their city on this level. He has a great voice for a podcast too, I would listen every week!
The presence of the mafia in a neighborhood has absolutely nothing to do with how safe it is. They’re not out killing innocent ppl. They kill each other. Tbh I think neighborhoods are safer with them around. This lady’s worried about them shooting her it seems. Just very random.
I agree. She is genuinely clueless about this topic. I don’t mean that in a rude way. I certainly don’t know everything, but The Italian Mafia is not going around killing innocent people.
As someone who grew up in the east end of Montreal, I'm hearing people say they felt safer when the mafia was around. Kids could play outside and not get killed by a bullet in the middle of the day.
Good to see Pietro…used to see him all the time back in the days on Crescent street. Great cop and nice guy. Helped me out more than once while working as a bouncer 😉
Thats how the mafia works. Ur not supposed to know. So they are doing what they known to do. Move in silence while controlling the underground world. They in many countries my friend and youll never know
He clearly has the education needed to address this. He is 100% correct the police chiefs being appointed means they don't care. Sadly none of them will speak out about how they dont function. But this man did !
Tony soprano was not a "good guy" and those movies only glorify the mafia if you turn them off half way (or are repeating secondhand opinions on movies you havent seen)
I spent some time in a crackhouse this year as an observer. It's a joke, everyone knows where it is, how much crack is sold, how much money is made but we just let it fly! After 5 min, I knew who was doing the dealing, the running, the 20$ hookers, etc. etc. etc.
We tend to forget history. There were killings in daylight. Plus the mob played a huge part in helping create unions. The old guard is retiring and this is the new guard figuring out who's going to be in charge. Problem is it's 2023 and it's not the same landscape especially with smart phones, geolocation and social media. Organized crime will have to change its strategy or governments will turn to totalitarism in order to appease the public. The next 10 to 20 years will be super interesting.
What's crazy is that the mob is having discussions now as to whether or not to kill the children/offspring of this individual. But here's the kicker. We know how that ends. Almost everyone knows about Count of Monte Cristo, Inigo Montoya, the daughter at the end of Kill Bill 2 and the series finale of Boardwalk Empire. Someone will want revenge for having their Mom killed. And someone somewhere is having the dark discussion about the ethics of killing children. Ndebele and Kayan Lahwi tribespeople wear neck rings. Initially these rings were created to prevent the necks from being taken off with a machete from enemy tribes. It's only later they became a symbol of wealth, beauty and luxury. Someone is going to have to sit the mobsters down who fancy themselves kings and really spell it out for them that either they tow the line or welcome a dystopian and draconian new world order. And Lord knows with the United States and its huge military complex: it's literally chomping at the bit for any excuse to release armed sentinels. And since Canada has such a close relationship to the US and to *ahem* New Jersey... they'll be more than happy to help the cousins in Connecticut bring forth an increase in government surveillance and the erosion of our individual freedoms. I guess Orwell's 1984 was prophecy.
There have been plenty of mob murders committed in broad daylight up in Montreal and Hamilton. The only way to reduce the crime is to enforce a law similar to RICO in the states. But quite frankly- I’d rather see the mob still active than the government take over their rackets
Every mafia controlled area where they arrest the boss's leaves a vacuum where the control and order of those areas disappears and leaves kaotic disorganised crime in which normal people suffer the political class don't understand this because their vision is blurred by there own life experience
I went to Montreal in 2017 after finding pic of Adrianna Cartier she was kidnapped from Montreal in 1975. Police on papineau told me crime never happened and to go home Montreal not safe. Quebec missing children told me that had no such case. I lived in Montreal and in 2018 on chim radio and ctv they announced her anniversary. People in Montreal told me crime happened. Why was I lied to and refused help?
maybe people should be contacting their local MP's and putting pressure on them why they've removed VISA restrictions to Mexico and have it reversed if all their cartel are coming up here?? They're all here and laying low and it's going to get a lot more violent when they make themselves known. I'd like to know who signed off on this removal of VISA requirements for really dangerous criminals to enter our country?
Wow!!! Did this ever open my eyes to a whole different world than the one I grew up in. I know it's always been hush hush but that is scary that the pot of soup that is Montreal has so many more elements in it than we are aware of. Fantastic, frank and candid interview with someone who knows his stuff and isn't afraid to speak about it. Thank you! I'd like a list of areas in Montreal that are unsafe to wander into please LOL!
Cutting the snake head isn't always a silver bullet, sometimes you have to get working on the street gangs because that's a real issue affecting normal people and these fools don't care who they hurt. Far more dangerous than any mafiosi...
Could you guys make a video about the chinese triads? I find them interesting because even thought they exist, we never hear them. How strong are they in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario? I know they are quit strong in BC, but other than that...how about the other provinces?
Hm that last part is wishful thinking; knowing that it's extremely easy for street gangs in MTL to get hand guns I'd feel safer having the right to carry, as a law obeding citizen I should be able to defend myself against thugs and home invaders. If the government could assure us there's an infinitesimal quantity of guns that gets into criminal hands I'd feel safe. That's an utopia tho.
You are ridiculous. Why would you feel safer carrying a gun ??? Are you a criminal yourself??? When do « gangster » attack innocent people???? If everyone carries gun it’s going to be like in the usa when people get killed over stupid stuff like road rage.
There's no surprise.. decades ago (another life ago)...I was in highrise on one side of the highway with a group of people who were in the process of negotiating a deal on several hundred pounds of Hash about 15-20 floors up, saw the police cars coming below and took an elevator down to underground parking lot which ran underneath the highway to a twin highrise in the other side and from another unit in that building watched the raid of the apartment unit we had just left a few minutes previously.. the relatively new people I was with doing business..I was just literally a teenager tagging along with my buddy from Vancouver and his friend made a few phone calls and just a few hours later in the early morning we drove out to a nice house in the suburbs where upon entering the driveway a man came out shaking this guy's hands..opened the garage door and trunk of the vehicle in the garage upon which payment changed hands and a few hundred pounds of hash went from that trunk into the trunk of the vehicle I was a passenger in... and we left..the next day I was at the airport flying back to Vancouver having had enough adventure realizing the person I was with was not what I had expected and as I watched the television news in airport waiting for my flight back a news story was on about the Montreal police and a caption on the screen identified as the Chief of police if Montreal showed a man walking out of building..the exact same man the previous morning who sold back the hash to that was seized back to the guys it was seized from.. that's a long time ago near 4 decades but I've always wondered if anything ever changed.
I think your on another planet buddy your French language will get you no where In life . And remember it’s the English that built this province without us you would be on the streets begging for money
Mafia and MC Gangs hire young people to do hits? Why? for 5k -10k why go to prison. So thesse new hit-men or teenagers are brazen and fearless. Be careful and don't get involved with drugs and Gangs. Life is shorter than you think 😢
Great interview. VALERIE PLANTE...Listen to this man ...He knows what he is talking about...our police force can not handle what's going on today...we need to go back to grass roots...And have dialogue with Street Gangs , Bikers and organized crime...let them do thier business but discuss the fact no violence....
Montreal policed cops get an average of 1200 9/11 calls A DAY ... Im pretty sure someobody sees them.. maybe you should get out more or if you find trouble, Im sure you ll see them.
Still a very safe city compared many in the USA and even London. The UK outlawed firearms, so now criminals will stab you to death, if you don't hand over your valuables.
As an Italian middle-aged man, I'm very surprised to discover that the Mafia has grown incessantly in Canada as well as in many parts of this unlucky world. I mean, until the atrocious killing that shook me namely that of the former boss' daughter-in-law (...the one who was running a beauty centre...), I truly thought that Montreal was much better than other places on the planet, and that Canadian and/or Italian murderers and mobs were caged for life or, however, that crime's percentage was extremely low... but now I'm aware that I was deeply wrong.
Canada needs a mussolini.... Canadian corrupt, cowardly complicit ( not all but many ) police,politicians, lawyers & judges ect...... Allow this to happen or turn a blind eye or pretend to clamp down but don't take out the whole system everyone knows are crimminals.
My mother's aunt, and many first cousins emigrated to Montreal from Molise in 1954. The first Italian Church in Montreal LA Madonna Della Difesa has a painting of IL Duce riding a white stallion on it's ceiling Can't tell how many weddings and Funerals I attended there. There have been Mob murders there for decades. Usually Calbrese and Sicilian mobsters vying for control. I have a cousin who emigrated to Toronto in 1959. He built a successful construction business and is a multimillionaire. The Toronto mob tried to shake him down 35 years ago, to the point where he feared for his life. This is nothing new.
Lmao, you were delusional. Montreal is almost entirely run by the Mafia. Why do you think we are CONSTANTLY under construction? They have billiona dollar contracts.
Sadly citizens are devoid of the culture in policing today, the changes that have happened over the last 30 years disheartening. Pleasantly surprised, great guest and an honest dipiction of law enforcement, the challenges and misconceptions in North America. To clarify, in Vancouver you cannot walk into a police station. Members afraid of their own shadows and openly admit they stay clear of organized crime entities. So they engage with the weak in isolation in our communities to fill their days. This lazy, self entitled, policing based on members lack of motivation and conducting themselves based on their feelings has had unintentional consequences with law enforcement agencies. Moral, suicides, members attacked or killed, wake up! To those members that live the oath, stay safe. Clean up your own back yard, remember those before you amd serve and protect those who ask for help. Your guest should be taken seriously and my view needs to be provided a place at the table, to try and alter the course of policing today. Courage is required not more members.❤ ❤❤❤
I enjoyed this interview. I'm not surprise that it will get worse going forward. I loved the PAST Montreal.... Not too crazy about the PRESENT Montreal.... The FUTURE Montreal as me worried..... Go Habs.....
Amateurs. Poletti says “The authorities aren’t doing their job” and nobody picks up on it, most noticeably Chesterman… They’re more interested in hearing themselves ask what they think are profound questions. They’re like a bunch of kids….
He's describing Montreal, but everyone knows this is just Quebec. It's no different provincially, or in any other town. The corruption is the prime driver of French Nationalism.
Grand Theft Auto 7: Quebec City plot is revealed!! Tommy Vercetti will be back after 37 years to the new Montreal streets. New lobster fishing + skip the dish run side missions will be the addition to make extra money!!

Idk if you know of theo von, funny wholesome comedian. He had a really good long interview with a retired cop a few months back.
Well said friend ✌🏼

I agree with you 100%
100%
100% she seems very lovely but ya..I was into it until 6:10 interruptions
She represents the average citizens that know nothing about organized crime
Who taught you to be angry at female voices and participations? Without a woman you would have never been born.
He is so informative and relaxing to listen to, everytime the woman speaks its like fingernails on a chalkboard...
insufferable
The unbrella of mental health and his explanation of the real problem is VERY CORRECT. This was a great interview.
i have never heard anyone speak so clearly and honestly about organized crime before. this man is so well-spoken and knowledgeable.
hahah give me a break. mtl is extremly highly policed. basicly a police state.
and "oh thiers to much weed, making organzied crime" give me a break.
@@voyageproperI don’t really see cops when I walk downtown

@@voyageproperyou’re out of touch with reality. Your opinion is irrelevant
Wow! It's been a Long time since someone was this candid..
Get this man a podcast
absolutely stellar interview with Mr. Poletti. Thank you Aaron for asking effective questions
So terrific to see this. Visited the deli frequently in the late 70's. The best deli food ever. One of the owners children owns the Centre deli in Toronto.
They sold long time ago, centre street deli still open though
He would be a great radio host

trudeau is enemy number one to Canadians
Go to st Hubert in montreal. Mexican organized crime is here. They will displaced everyone just like in Chicago
Got news for you the cartels never needed your Princess Trudy and his Rainbow mafia for permission. Everyone works together except the alphabet mafia demanding pronouns.
@@philippebergeron5821 Sleeping on a pillow full of dirty cash you mean
bikers. murder people, and traffic woman and children. not childs play.
Turn off her mic or remove her from the next interview
Really well spoken and knowledgeable. This was a great listen, very interesting. I feel more Montrealers should know what's been happening in their city on this level.
He has a great voice for a podcast too, I would listen every week!
I love this Pietro guy, he's amazing. It's a shame his interviewers didn't brush up on the history of OC in montreal
I've known Pete for over 30 years from the Via Crescent days! He's a good guy!
Great policeman but this woman is not letting him speak
Yup
This woman clearly lost in this interview.
lol
Great interview
Why is this lady who seems to know nothng about the mafia and crime on the show? She is asking the most basic questions.
And she's asking all the questions and some of the stupidest questions I've ever heard she must not be very well-educated
lol
The presence of the mafia in a neighborhood has absolutely nothing to do with how safe it is. They’re not out killing innocent ppl. They kill each other. Tbh I think neighborhoods are safer with them around. This lady’s worried about them shooting her it seems. Just very random.
I agree. She is genuinely clueless about this topic. I don’t mean that in a rude way. I certainly don’t know everything, but The Italian Mafia is not going around killing innocent people.
This woman should not be sitting at the same table with these men since she cannot contribute.
She's literally mixing up violent street gangs and organized mafia.
Safer with them around????? You’re out of touch with reality
03:46 “Eliminated what do you mean?” listen Betty on a podcast about mafia what in heavens do you think that word means?!
very good interview. I hope to see more of him, he's a great speaker
Fantastic interview !!! ❤❤
As someone who grew up in the east end of Montreal, I'm hearing people say they felt safer when the mafia was around. Kids could play outside and not get killed by a bullet in the middle of the day.
Are they getting killed now?
That makes 0 sense
The woman keeps interrupting.
Yup
Good to see Pietro…used to see him all the time back in the days on Crescent street. Great cop and nice guy. Helped me out more than once while working as a bouncer 😉
You wanna find a cop ? They'll be in a parking lot parking next to another cop car
Lady: “What do you mean eliminated”
The man : You know that’s how it works 👌🏼🤣
The newest twist was Chit DelBaso getting hit this week.
As an American this interview was so informative. Just a side of a place I’ve never been to, that I would never imagine is like this!
Thats how the mafia works. Ur not supposed to know. So they are doing what they known to do. Move in silence while controlling the underground world. They in many countries my friend and youll never know
The cops in Montreal are great at giving ticky tac traffic tickets to hardworking taxpaying citizens trying to get to work and back
The combat against organized crime is mostly the task of the RCMP and SQ, not of municipal police services
He clearly has the education needed to address this. He is 100% correct the police chiefs being appointed means they don't care. Sadly none of them will speak out about how they dont function. But this man did !
Spot on. Choir Boys are correct. The streets require a hierarchy and that will never be a FED.
Tony soprano was not a "good guy" and those movies only glorify the mafia if you turn them off half way (or are repeating secondhand opinions on movies you havent seen)
Those movies 100% promote and glorify the life
I spent some time in a crackhouse this year as an observer. It's a joke, everyone knows where it is, how much crack is sold, how much money is made but we just let it fly! After 5 min, I knew who was doing the dealing, the running, the 20$ hookers, etc. etc. etc.
All they need to do, is get rid of the leader Trudeau
1 of many problems
Mr.Poletti is so right about Police Chiefs now, they do whatever the flavour of the day Government tells them to do.
We tend to forget history. There were killings in daylight. Plus the mob played a huge part in helping create unions. The old guard is retiring and this is the new guard figuring out who's going to be in charge. Problem is it's 2023 and it's not the same landscape especially with smart phones, geolocation and social media. Organized crime will have to change its strategy or governments will turn to totalitarism in order to appease the public. The next 10 to 20 years will be super interesting.
Astute analysis...
What's crazy is that the mob is having discussions now as to whether or not to kill the children/offspring of this individual. But here's the kicker. We know how that ends. Almost everyone knows about Count of Monte Cristo, Inigo Montoya, the daughter at the end of Kill Bill 2 and the series finale of Boardwalk Empire. Someone will want revenge for having their Mom killed. And someone somewhere is having the dark discussion about the ethics of killing children. Ndebele and Kayan Lahwi tribespeople wear neck rings. Initially these rings were created to prevent the necks from being taken off with a machete from enemy tribes. It's only later they became a symbol of wealth, beauty and luxury. Someone is going to have to sit the mobsters down who fancy themselves kings and really spell it out for them that either they tow the line or welcome a dystopian and draconian new world order. And Lord knows with the United States and its huge military complex: it's literally chomping at the bit for any excuse to release armed sentinels. And since Canada has such a close relationship to the US and to *ahem* New Jersey... they'll be more than happy to help the cousins in Connecticut bring forth an increase in government surveillance and the erosion of our individual freedoms. I guess Orwell's 1984 was prophecy.
@@emeral311 heard dat.
I recognize his voice from the Dark North Podcast
‘Loyalty Is A Lifestyle Not A Word’
There have been plenty of mob murders committed in broad daylight up in Montreal and Hamilton. The only way to reduce the crime is to enforce a law similar to RICO in the states. But quite frankly- I’d rather see the mob still active than the government take over their rackets
You have no idea what you’re saying
Every mafia controlled area where they arrest the boss's leaves a vacuum where the control and order of those areas disappears and leaves kaotic disorganised crime in which normal people suffer the political class don't understand this because their vision is blurred by there own life experience
Mr Poletti is fascinating to listen to. They should do a film about him and his life in the police force.
Great Podcast , thank you ! Which Delicatessen was this filmed ?
I went to Montreal in 2017 after finding pic of Adrianna Cartier she was kidnapped from Montreal in 1975. Police on papineau told me crime never happened and to go home Montreal not safe.

where do you think the las vegas mob came from? modern Montreal has always been deeply steeped in organized crime and corruption.

Aaron, love you bello ! i miss the days of Aaron and Taso
I think the interviewers interrupted the interviewee too much. It was a great interview, but I just want to hear the man talk
I agree
Let the man speak!
Could you guys make a video about the chinese triads? I find them interesting because even thought they exist, we never hear them. How strong are they in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario? I know they are quit strong in BC, but other than that...how about the other provinces?
Mob Reporter YT channel has an interesting bit on them operating a casino out of a mansion in Ontario.
Also in the 2010s there was a gang war between two Asian youth gangs in Toronto.
Great content 👍🏿
Great interview!
Hm that last part is wishful thinking; knowing that it's extremely easy for street gangs in MTL to get hand guns I'd feel safer having the right to carry, as a law obeding citizen I should be able to defend myself against thugs and home invaders.

Just pure smug narcissism. We have less violent crime, because we currently have less criminals.
It works so well in the US 🙃
There are so many handguns in countries neighbouring the u.s.a because of the second amendment...
My favorite Deli place in Montreal by far. Love the interview. It scares me a little though.
It called it Right.These New Younger Gangs are Ruthless.The Bikers got they Hands full
There's no surprise.. decades ago (another life ago)...I was in highrise on one side of the highway with a group of people who were in the process of negotiating a deal on several hundred pounds of Hash about 15-20 floors up, saw the police cars coming below and took an elevator down to underground parking lot which ran underneath the highway to a twin highrise in the other side and from another unit in that building watched the raid of the apartment unit we had just left a few minutes previously.. the relatively new people I was with doing business..I was just literally a teenager tagging along with my buddy from Vancouver and his friend made a few phone calls and just a few hours later in the early morning we drove out to a nice house in the suburbs where upon entering the driveway a man came out shaking this guy's hands..opened the garage door and trunk of the vehicle in the garage upon which payment changed hands and a few hundred pounds of hash went from that trunk into the trunk of the vehicle I was a passenger in... and we left..the next day I was at the airport flying back to Vancouver having had enough adventure realizing the person I was with was not what I had expected and as I watched the television news in airport waiting for my flight back a news story was on about the Montreal police and a caption on the screen identified as the Chief of police if Montreal showed a man walking out of building..the exact same man the previous morning who sold back the hash to that was seized back to the guys it was seized from.. that's a long time ago near 4 decades but I've always wondered if anything ever changed.

c'est incroyable d'entendre des québécois parler en anglais... vous êtes sur une autre planète.
I think your on another planet buddy your French language will get you no where In life . And remember it’s the English that built this province without us you would be on the streets begging for money
I fear, with Olivia Chow, as the new Toronto Mayor, that Toronto is going to rival Montreal for out of control crime.
Same
Mafia and MC Gangs hire young people to do hits? Why? for 5k -10k why go to prison. So thesse new hit-men or teenagers are brazen and fearless. Be careful and don't get involved with drugs and Gangs. Life is shorter than you think 😢
Great interview. VALERIE PLANTE...Listen to this man ...He knows what he is talking about...our police force can not handle what's going on today...we need to go back to grass roots...And have dialogue with Street Gangs , Bikers and organized crime...let them do thier business but discuss the fact no violence....
Let them do their business? Selling heroin to kids and sex trafficking women? Lol you're pathetically naive
Drugs and prostitution ARE violence
Very very interesting!! Great show
Thx
The police seems to be trained just to ticket you. Otherwise you don’t see them.

"I wouldn't walk around in these areas"
>areas I spend all my time it seems
it's not the mobsters it's the junkies
The lady was from the table next to them and offered to pay for the lunch if she could join. So they said SURE have a seat !😅
thank you! this was very interesting!
Im more worried about the growing mexican presence. Montreal will never be the same .
That’s too bad I love Montreal, travel there every couple years. Great city.
Still a very safe city compared many in the USA and even London. The UK outlawed firearms, so now criminals will stab you to death, if you don't hand over your valuables.
That’s so true so there are so many cop but non are on the street they probably just in the office
From organized crime to disorganized crime, i've leave Montreal for couple reason but the crimes is not payback anymore; they are wild and free.
That female journo couldn't handle him putting a bit of blame on the media
When peliotti farted it really caught me off guard .

My mother's aunt, and many first cousins emigrated to Montreal from Molise in 1954. The first Italian Church in Montreal LA Madonna Della Difesa has a painting of IL Duce riding a white stallion on it's ceiling
Can't tell how many weddings and Funerals I attended there. There have been Mob murders there for decades. Usually Calbrese and Sicilian mobsters vying for control. I have a cousin who emigrated to Toronto in 1959. He built a successful construction business and is a multimillionaire. The Toronto mob tried to shake him down 35 years ago, to the point where he feared for his life. This is nothing new.
Canada is a crime paradise. The laws are weak and the politicians are bought.
Lmao, you were delusional. Montreal is almost entirely run by the Mafia. Why do you think we are CONSTANTLY under construction? They have billiona dollar contracts.
Moreno Gallo wasn’t a boss.
20 years ago was the only time police made arrest for large amounts of drugs. Time to move out
Sadly citizens are devoid of the culture in policing today, the changes that have happened over the last 30 years disheartening.
Pleasantly surprised, great guest and an honest dipiction of law enforcement, the challenges and misconceptions in North America.
To clarify, in Vancouver you cannot walk into a police station. Members afraid of their own shadows and openly admit they stay clear of organized crime entities.
So they engage with the weak in isolation in our communities to fill their days.
This lazy, self entitled, policing based on members lack of motivation and conducting themselves based on their feelings has had unintentional consequences with law enforcement agencies.
Moral, suicides, members attacked or killed, wake up!
To those members that live the oath, stay safe. Clean up your own back yard, remember those before you amd serve and protect those who ask for help.
Your guest should be taken seriously and my view needs to be provided a place at the table, to try and alter the course of policing today.
Courage is required not more members.❤
❤❤❤
14:00 the face he made when he mentioned Arabs 🤣
When executives retire, they often join advisory boards so their wisdom isn't wasted. Do the Police do this?
Yes. I've had lectures from ex RCMP and CSIS members who have said they testify and advise government. I'm sure municipal police do this as well.
Haha. The cop is mobbed up. They re the biggest gangsters in Mtl. Blah blah blah

Crews never die
This women seems to just talk bc it’s being filmed she has no clue
I was pulling for the local owned pizza shop!
I enjoyed this interview. I'm not surprise that it will get worse going forward.
I loved the PAST Montreal.... Not too crazy about the PRESENT Montreal.... The FUTURE Montreal as me worried.....
Go Habs.....
Amateurs. Poletti says “The authorities aren’t doing their job” and nobody picks up on it, most noticeably Chesterman… They’re more interested in hearing themselves ask what they think are profound questions. They’re like a bunch of kids….

Greatest podcast is is the the mafia
One
A season two never came :(
Biggest disappointment ever. Their mafia stuff makes so much money for them but they don’t do much on it.
The Irish have never left the port they first immigrated to .it's been in there control since the 1830's
He’s good. Great video
The reason I wouldn't live in Montreal or in the province of Quebec, organized and disorganized crime is rampant.
He's describing Montreal, but everyone knows this is just Quebec. It's no different provincially, or in any other town. The corruption is the prime driver of French Nationalism.
It's the rakers we have to worry about the rake shall come
Grand Theft Auto 7: Quebec City plot is revealed!! Tommy Vercetti will be back after 37 years to the new Montreal streets. New lobster fishing + skip the dish run side missions will be the addition to make extra money!!
That's be a really good idea. Psuedo Europe, etc. Be fun driving down the road listening to people blabbering about french language laws
