The term "outlaw motorcycle clubs" (OMCs) conjures up images of lawless gang members in leather jackets and dark sunglasses, but the truth is more complex. OMCs are groups of motorcyclists that may or may not be involved in criminal activities, such as organized crime and drug trafficking. Canada has a long history of OMCs, from the Hells Angels in Quebec to the Outlaws in Alberta. Here’s a closer look at some of the most notorious outlaw motorcycle clubs in Canada.
The Hells Angels are one of the oldest and most notorious OMCs in Canada. Founded in Montreal in 1947, they now have chapters from coast to coast, with an estimated 2,000 members. The Angels have been linked to numerous criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and murder. Despite their reputation, the Hells Angels are quick to point out that they are not a criminal organization.
The Rock Machine, established in 1986, is another prominent OMC based in Canada. Founded by Maurice Boucher, the Rock Machine rose to prominence during the 1990s as part of the Quebec Biker War. With an estimated 500 members nationwide, the Rock Machine has been linked to a variety of crimes, including drug trafficking, assault, and murder.
The Outlaws are another major OMC in Canada, with chapters stretching from British Columbia to Ontario. Founded in 1935 by John “Big Gun” Marchello, the Outlaws have been linked to serious criminal activities such as murder, extortion, and drug trafficking. Despite their criminal connections, the Outlaws have become something of a community service organization in some areas, providing food and clothing for the homeless.
These are just a few of the numerous OMCs operating in Canada. While many of these clubs engage in criminal activities, they are also a source of pride for their members and communities. It’s important to remember that not all members of outlaw motorcycle clubs are criminals – some are simply people who enjoy riding and have a strong sense of loyalty to their club.
