Blaise Diesbourg born in 1897 was also known as “King Canada” and was a major figure in the liquor smuggling and bootlegging business around Windsor Ontario during the American prohibition period. His success brought him in contact with Al Capone who arranged a deal with Diesbourg to supply him with regular shipments of alcohol by plane. Diesbourg took the name King Canada at this time as an alias to hide from legal authorities.
