Blaise Diesbourg
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.〔Marty Gervais, The Rumrunners: A Prohibition Scrapbook (Canada: Library and Archives Canada Cataloguing in Publication, 1980, 2009), 51.〕
==Early life==
Diesbourg was born in Rochester Township, a farming area near Belle River, the son of Paul and Mary Jane Diesbourg, he was the 10th of 12 children.〔 Belle River was a small town east of Windsor, Ontario. The French-Canadian Diesbourg started his career as a small-time bootlegger, serving bar at his brother Charlie’s hotel, the Wellington, on the main street of Belle River. His early bootlegging operations were only local, he never sent the liquor across the border into the United States. Diesbourg saw significan profits, since he would buy whiskey for about $1.25 a case and sell it for $3.00. At some point during 1925-26, he opened his own hotel, called the Omar Hotel, and expanded into the export business.〔Marty Gervais, "Rum Runners", Bilioasis, Emeryville, Canada, 2009, pg.38〕
