Many people are surprised by Ryan Wedding.<\/p>
Specifically, they\u2019re surprised that a white, upper-class former Canadian Olympian would be compared to Pablo Escobar. But I\u2019m not.<\/p>
Ryan Wedding is from Vancouver. And the thing about organized crime in Vancouver is that so much of it is run by white upper-class people.<\/p>
There isn\u2019t much of an Italian mafia here. And I don\u2019t know much about Crips or Bloods here either. But Vancouver, being a port city, still attracts organized crime.<\/p>
We\u2019ve got biker gangs, Triads, Indian gangs.<\/p>
But also\u2014in a very Canadian way\u2014multicultural gangs. For example, the UN Gang, which prides itself on including people from multiple ethnicities: whites, Vietnamese, Indians, Arabs, etc.<\/p>
And who started the UN Gang? Clayton Roeche. A rich white dude with an Asian obsession.<\/p>
And who are the UN Gang\u2019s main rivals? The Wolfpack Alliance, which is another multi-ethnic gang. And the people who helped start that were the Bacon Brothers of the Red Scorpions and Larry Amero of the Hells Angels. Once again, well-to-do white dudes.<\/p>
Ryan Wedding is linked to the Wolfpack Alliance, who in turn are allied with the Sinaloa Cartel.<\/p>
So the real story here isn\u2019t that Ryan Wedding is some wild exception. It\u2019s that rich white Canadian men involved in street gangs are working in tandem with Mexican cartels.<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-07-11:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/atomicpoet.org\/objects\/da691e0e-494c-4a69-868e-de68548f147c","object":{"id":"https:\/\/atomicpoet.org\/objects\/da691e0e-494c-4a69-868e-de68548f147c","objectType":"note","content":"
