Canadian History • On December 1st 2000, the Bandidos were given Probationary Status in Canada but they had no “colours” yet. • On January 6th 2001, the new Probationary Bandidos hosted a “patch” party in Kingston Ontario. The Canadian Probationary Bandidos “unveiled” their patches at this party.
• Canadian Probationary Bandidos, as well as full members and officers from the Bandidos in the United States and Europe attended this party. 15

Canadian History Cont’d • This heavily attended party confirmed that there were chapters of the Probationary Bandidos in Toronto, Kingston, Montreal and Quebec City. • Shortly after receiving Probationary Bandidos status, The Toronto Chapter switched and became Hells Angels. • In June 2001 a group of former members of the Loners MC, a 1%-er motorcycle club, formed the new Toronto chapter of the Bandidos. 18

The “No Surrender Crew” • 2002 Project Amigo diminished the size further. Quebec Bandidos end. • Name No Surrender Crew was used by the Toronto Chapter thereafter. • Muscedere assumed the presidency. • The No Surrender Crew formed both the local and national chapter. 20
Expansion in Canada? • 2004: Toronto assumed control over a group in Edmonton who wanted to become Bandidos. This was known in Texas but soon thereafter, Edmonton Bandidos all became Hells Angels. • Winnipeg were not a full Bandidos chapter. They were to be under Toronto’s control in the months leading up to April 2006. • In 2007 further efforts to expand were made in Calgary & Saskatchewan. Neither succeeded. 21
The size of Canadian Bandidos In Early 2006 • Very small when compared to Bandidos worldwide • In 2005-2006 there were two internationally recognized chapters, both in Toronto (No Surrender Crew “local” & National) • Toronto & National were the same people [approx. 25 total]

Understanding Dynamics of Canada’s Response

Bill Sartelle’s email to Bandido “Nation” 12/28/2005 To whom it may concern: For the past year or more, we, BMC USA, have attempted to make communications with Canada. We have directed face to face visits from whoever is in charge up there. Up till now there has been no visit from the proper person. It has been decided that due to lack of participation, Canada's Charter is being pulled. Effective immediately: Return all Bandido patches and property to the following address: Bill Sartelle 511 Gleneagles dr. Friendswood, Tx. 77546 In approximately 30 days we will make notification to all that we no longer have a Chapter in Canada and that any person wearing our Patch, in Canada, is not sanctioned. Bill 1%er [This appears in the Email Brief Tabs 8, 10, and13]

Part of Toronto’s response on January 6, 2006 to Bandido Nation: We ask that our Brothers make there voice heard from all over the world and stand tall with us in support of us as we have our brothers. We would like a worldwide vote from all of our brothers from around the world before we return our Bandido property. [This appears in the Email Brief Tabs 10, and13] 31
