It's time to make towing a government agency run by the province. When you have firebombings and gun battles, your private industry cedes the opportunity.
Also, when I think Mafia in Ontario, I think construction.

  oh boy, Montréal, construction is 100% run by mafia it's incredible, at every level
- It's the job of the government to fight organised crime. That sounds like a huge failure of government.
  
  A huge failure? Of a Canadian government? I don't believe you.
- I checked out the Corleone Hospital in Vaughan and it's pretty sweet

  Ironically, moving power from one Mafia family to another. LOL
  But seriously, if an industry is being dominated by organized crime, the government needs to remove those opportunities.
Just as an FYI ...

Some snowplows can be similar around here.
Like company X won't take a contract with you because you were previously with company Y and they don't wanna be targeted by their goons or whatnot.
Both companies offer shit service anyway because they hire goons instead of people who actually deal with the snow.
Doesn't happen too much with residential services, but the ones doing big companies parking lots can get sketchy.
Side note. Repo and Non-Accident related towing are both extremely confrontational and potentially violent industries. I think I'd rather shovel shit than do those.
