Montreal and Vancouver's problems started somewhere, too. Anything that gives opportunity for organized crime to gain presence in a city is a very real cause for concern, regardless of how your city compares to others.
All my opinion, of course, but angling for a one-time payoff for a blackmail tape seems small-time to me. Organized crime would probably be looking at a much larger picture, such as using leverage on Ford to secure a very lucrative contract with the city for garbage removal or some such thing.

To add to this, a conservative candidate who has the goal of "reducing the size of government" in the city is a much more lucrative prospect for organized crime that someone who isn't.
Those new contracts they just had a hand in created for city services have to go somewhere.
Just because Montreal has a larger history of organized crime, doesn't make Toronto immune.
