I think you may be thinking of the D'Amico of Granby dispute. There was a drug shipment that went bad and the D'Amicos felt they were owed money. One of the sons or nephews went to the Consenza and flashed a gun and then went outside, gave a signal, and a convoy of vehicles pulled into the parking lot of the strip mall of where the Consenza Social Club was.
I don't believe there had been any mention of the 'Ndrangheta in Thunder Bay until Siderno's mayor, Alessandro Figliomeni, was arrested on mafia association charges and reports had him making several visits to the city. Some of the trips were on said to be on official business as Thunder Bay and Siderno are sister cities, other trips were to visit family. One article mentioned one trip was to settle a local dispute. A few years later Italy issued arrest warrants for several men from the city and arrested one that was in Italy at the time. This came after Italian police recorded meetings between the Thunder Bay locals and Giuseppe “The Master” Commisso. The Thunder Bay men were complaining about Antonio Minnella.

Etreni, Bruzzese and ’Ndrangheta clan chief Commisso repeatedly complain about “the arrogance” of “Ntoni the goat” who, according to the wiretaps, does “things his own way” and does not pay the proper respect to the ’Ndrangheta’s strict traditions and protocol.
Thunder Bay and Siderno began the process of becoming sister cities when a relative of Minnella was the mayor of Siderno.
