Charbonneau Theater

I'm sure enjoying the media circus surrounding the inquiry about corruption in the construction industry and how the big, bad Italian mafia is behind it all. Finally people know about 'Ndgregheta! High five!

It makes for great theater - everyone loves watching and reading stuff about the mob - but the truth is corruption in construction in Quebec predates the Italians and the mob. They've been at it waaaayyyy longer. And they were French-Canadian. 

Oh well.

You can't make mob movies about the Swedish mafia (as one producer once said).

Or French-Canadian.
