A woman married to a well-known Montreal construction boss allegedly linked to the Mafia was the target of a shooting in a west-end neighbourhood Friday morning.

The woman, in her fifties, was shot near her home in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, in west-end Montreal, police confirmed. She was in her car on Beaconsfield Avenue near Somerled when a man shot at the vehicle.

The woman wasn't hurt and drove herself to the nearest police station.

A police source told CBC News that the woman is married to Tony Magi.

Magi runs Construction FTM, a large building company. Police believe he is connected to the Rizzuto family, Montreal's once-dominant Mafia clan.

This happened about ten minutes, on foot, from where I live now. And I am stating to recognize the names. The first property I ever bought was about 300 feet north, on the same street as this incident.

That couple managed to get a demolition permit in an area where NONE are ever issued. That was around 1989-91. I owned property there from 1992 to 1994, but I moved out in '93 and after a short stint in a large NDG rental flat, moved to Cressy Road, where I live now, and about ten minutes away from this latest incident.

Two or three years ago, this woman's husband was shot as he drove down a nearby thoroughfare. He survived.

GH: December 2025 Discussion Thread

They had ardent fans on certain forums. It drove me crazy because Skye was so poorly shoehorned into the show and nothing about any of her relationships (except maybe the friendships with A.J. and Ned) were believable to me. Liking an actor does not make a character fit!

Luke's already dead and has been for a while, why would they need to need to recover his body to honor him? What for another memorial? Thats depressing especially as you mention, there's been quite a few of those recently and in the pipeline.

They can honor Luke by doing something to celebrate his birthday. Have that come up and several characters get sentimental and think and talk about him throughout the episode

that still exists? I watched it las year on teh ABC app but they decomissioned that

I was not a fan of her work on The Bold and the Beautiful, but her work on Beyond the Gates has been outstanding. She truly is one of the best in American daytime, tying with Mandi Line from The Young and the Restless.

Perhaps I was giving the entire team too much credit. I assumed the show snapped up Ingo when Titans flopped, were hoping to get Vanessa and it fell through, and scrapped together some wacky plot for Jax last minute, hoping something would stick. I was always a bit surprised they didn't try to repair the coupling of Chloe/Jax.
I can see the idea of tying him to the Cassadines in his return via Alexis, but that story was just odd. Jax left his entire life in PC to find Brenda and gave up after less than a year and somehow ran into Cassadine intrigue?
I could go on and on about the Skye romance. They were barely together and then were getting married. It wasn't anywhere near Jax's worst pairing, but everyone in the audience knew the show was ramping up the obstacles for Brenda's return and nothing was organic about it.
Honestly though I always laugh when I think about Ric and Marianna? What a silly story no one ever mentioned again. Did JFP really think THAT story was going to elevate RH to lead status?

I think Eva is at a point where either you love her or hate her. They can do whatever they can to make her likeable and a "good" character but people will forever hate her bc of how the writers wrote her this year. Thats were Im at with her bc I do not want to see her happy and side eye everything she does. Im over her

I don't think Jill had any plan there, no. She and likely the network were just snatching Ingo back up once he was free hoping for a ratings bump. Like most longtime GH characters, she and Megan McTavish clearly had no idea what to do with him or who Jax was. That was evidenced by the crap they had him playing with Angel, then the insta-romance with Skye who was Jill's favorite.
As far as I can tell JFP had very little affinity for GH's history or characters. She was about her favorites. That's evidenced again by the strike in 2008, when Guza is gone for a few months and suddenly GH becomes The Rick Hearst Show and resembles early-mid'90s Guiding Light, when Jill was in charge. Not that I don't love Hearst, but suddenly having A-story spinning around Ric and some immigrant woman he married was crazy. But that was Jill.

Trivia: John P Navin was in the very first scene on Cheers. He was the boy with the fake ID, trying to purchase beer.
