Countryside comes to mind. Not all Mennonites are simple: they're often extremely well-traveled businessmen and women. I know one who's got a $100 million software business yet still attends church every Sunday.

You know I was being facetious, right? As in freemasons meeting secretly to plot how to control the world.
Mobsters might not hang out in Perth but on the other side of London, in Elgin, not that long ago, a dude massacred 8 fellow biker outlaws in his barn or something under the pretense of a meeting.
I somewhat recall the recent true story of some Mennonite family in SWO buddying up with a cartel in Mexico to move drugs across the border.
The Zehr family are Mennonite, no? As in the Zehr grocery store chain and RE development. They were one of our clients at my last job. One time one of them hand delivered a draft to pay out one of the mortgages. We joked that they travelled all the way from Kitchener to Downtown Toronto by horse and buggy. Only maybe three times ever can I recall a client hand delivering a cheque or docs in the 7 years I was there. I wonder if that level of personal interaction stems from the Mennonite culture. Though if some people happen to be on business downtown they don't mind hand delivering something because it's kind of like going for a walk and also putting a face to the people you do business with.
