[3] In 1974, Cecil Kirby and Garnet "Mother" McEwen, the president of the Satan's Choice St. Catharines chapter, travelled to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to meet with senior members of the Outlaws.
Under the terms of the agreement in early 1975, the Outlaws were the exclusive distributors in the United States of the PCP and methamphetamine manufactured by Satan's Choice members in northern Ontario.
[6] The Popeyes were regarded to be the most violent outlaw biker club in Quebec, and were notorious for engaging in gratuitous and sadistic violence, which is part of the reason why they were later chosen by the Hells Angels for recruitment.
[8] Satan's Choice's expansion into Quebec began in 1967 establishing a chapter in Montreal and aligned itself with the long time Popeye rivals, the Devil's Disciples.
At their peak around 1970, Satan's Choice membership reached over 400 with 13 chapters in Ontario and Quebec, at this point it was the second largest Motorcycle Club in the world behind only the Hells Angels.
Howard "Pigpen" Berry, an enforcer for Satan's Choice, opened fire on the clubhouse of the Popeyes Motorcycle Club with a sawed-off Lee–Enfield .303 bolt action rifle with a ten-round clip.
The Popeyes earned rights to distribute narcotics in its Montreal territory until the Dubois brothers were arrested and the club was cut off from its largest supplier of drugs.
