00:03:19.560Yes. So why would we not expect it to come here?1.00
00:03:24.880Well, here's the other thing. We don't like to talk about it because nobody has,
00:03:29.180we all have the common sense to say, this is not the entire culture.
00:03:34.180This is a crime set associated with this certain culture, you know, factions of gangs within that that have made their way to Canada through that form of immigration and are starting to flourish.
00:03:47.640Well, so let's talk about that for a minute, because on my trip, it was interesting.
00:03:52.160My trip down to the east was very interesting because I had a few shows where I went to museums.
00:03:58.360I actually visited historic sites and I talked to historians.
00:11:01.520I have no idea what they would be paying.
00:11:02.920But the other thing is OPP, CBSA, FINTRAC, and even the FBI have described criminal activity stretching across jurisdictions internationally out of these gangs and extortion operations here in Canada.
00:11:20.460So they are actually being linked to foreign entities.
00:11:28.600Yeah, let's talk about it because, you know, it is from within because, you know, the people that arrive here are daisy-chained to the people in the old country, which is always the way it has always been.
00:11:39.920But, you know, it's interesting, Mike, the new technologies we have.
00:11:44.080So, you know, think about what we just talked about.
00:11:45.960We talked about, you know, basically the starting of Canada, the crime families that came.
00:11:51.900And now you're looking at all the new technologies that are available.
00:11:54.860you know i do find it a little hard to believe that it's still going on in the same fashion and
00:12:00.380form i find that a little and when you talk about the extortion piece you know the fact that now
00:12:06.020you hit it on the head the reason i went down that rabbit hole paul is because it's deja vu
00:12:12.560all over again uh and you pointed it out it started with you know gruff unions yeah the mob
00:12:19.980bike gangs international crime is now that internationally inspired crime taking place
00:12:28.480here in canada with connections to the old country whether it's debts or you know somebody
00:12:35.100somebody has fallen uh into the view of one of these organizations yeah but they also are really
00:12:42.120targeting people's homes and businesses so if you show a certain amount of wealth if you seem to have
00:12:47.800a successful business much like the mob much like the unions before you're being held ransom and
00:12:55.100it's not you have to think about it the product that they're actually out there with this economy
00:12:59.720their product is fear not that we're going after everybody but that we might come after you right
00:13:06.760right well and yeah it's an interesting one because in in the case you showed a little bit
00:13:13.600again going back to you know years and years ago a lot of kind of these crimes were instigated off
00:13:21.400of the fact that they actually loan money to start some of the businesses right so what happened is
00:13:27.020a lot of the initial seed money back in the 1930s 40s and 50s that came in from uh for people who
00:13:33.780had immigrated to canada came from back home which came from sources that weren't good sources right
00:13:39.840So that was how the businesses got started.
00:13:43.300I wouldn't be surprised if it's the very same thing.
00:13:45.820You know, the Irish and the Italians, when they came to Canada,
