Kwizzenders: The man on the right is Andre "Toots" Tousignant, a top biker found dead in the woods 10 years ago. Someone had killed him and even chopped his fingers off, hopefully after he died. He was the only Hells Angel that would talk to the media. I once interviewed him after Daniel Sanger gave me the number to the gang clubhouse near Ontario, which has since been demolished. Can't remember much about the interview but I recall asking him what kinda music they play at the clubhouse and he said some guys like classical music. Right, sure. Andre claimed to make a living on vending machines. He earned a ton of respect for picking up a ticking Rock Machine bomb and tossing it away from the clubhouse. He also killed the prison guard in that bad idea scheme that eventually put an end to the gang heirarchy. It's universally assumed that his own buddies executed him.

Terry di M?
ReplyDeleteMom Boucher's son Francis?
ReplyDeleteI dunno, but the guy on the left looks like someone from Belfast.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's Ivan Reitman, the Hollywood director, who lived in Montreal for a time during the '70s and who married the Montrealer Genevieve Robert, mother of Jason Reitman, director of "Juno".
ReplyDeleteSaw that on "Outlaw Bikers" last night. Seems he was offed because prosecution in the Mom Boucher trial had Tousignant and Fontaine pegged as the killers/witnesses in the prison guard case, so the Hells tried to make sure there were no witnesses to talk to. Fontaine ran, and I think was recently caught by cops.
ReplyDeleteCoolopolis says it's Toots Tousignant but I still maintain it's Ivan Reitman.
ReplyDeleteLittle known fact: Reitman ran with the Angels for about 4 years in the Eastern Townships in the 70s and 80s in between producing "Animal House" and "Twins". Compare his mug from a recent photo with the one in you posted and I think you'll agree it's Reitman:

Nah, it's Toots.
