In Montreal many deps (corner stores) are Chinese run.
In Ottawa they seem to be of Indian decent.
In Ottawa taxi drivers were largely Lebanese. Also an empire of sorts. Operating vehicles 24/7 to maximize revenue per car.
Could you link to the Albanian documentary? That story is super fascinating.

- redis_mlc 6y agoThe story is beyond unreal - one of the most fascinating documentaries I've ever seen, especially the Washington lobbying with a briefcase full of cash for a famous politician. Most people think of the UN as helpful, but they were the blood enemies of Albanians and other smaller ethnic groups during the Balkans conflicts. Why? Because the UN would turn a blind eye to armed groups who promised not to shoot UN peacekeepers, since Western European governments cannot tolerate casualties. The US military had to step in, and eventually ended the conflicts. The 50 cal was likely hidden in a barn somewhere, and the UN couldn't find it, so had to reduce helicopter flights. The snipers were trained in the US.
