Interview with Richmond Hill family arrested for “possession of an explosive device” then released on bail
Even in the sleepy suburban bedroom community of Richmond Hill, Ontario, is seems that terrorism is taking root.
Last week, a father and son were arrested at their Richmond Hill residence by York Regional Police for being in possession of an explosive device. The police were tipped off by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency.
But incredibly, Reza Mohammadiasl, 48, and his son, Mahyar, 18, were released on bail last Friday!
What’s even more stunning is that Ralph Goodale, the Minister of Public Safety, says the arrests of the two men are not related to “national security”... even though the FBI is allegedly investigating this duo.
It’s also both notable and disturbing how many media outlets have taken a pass on reporting the arrests. In fact, the local TorStar-owned paper, The Richmond Hill Liberal, didn’t even mention this story! Instead, The Liberal deemed that new appointees to the local library board made for better front page material!
The lackadaisical treatment of these alleged bomb-makers prompted me to take a short drive down the road from my house to visit them personally - and ask the questions that need to be answered.
While it was the mother, Mrs. Mohammadiasl, who did most of the taking, check out the video and see if you are satisfied with the answers she provided.

Toronto's Gun Buyback Screwup
In a tweet posted by Constable Mehrdad Sayedzadeh, the Community Response Officer at 54 Division, a pile of guns was profiled in a photo, complete with identifying information on who turned them in.
“This thing stinks,” said one of the people whose name and contact information was visible.
“It’s f^&*ing unbelievable,” he said when reached by phone.
The gun buyback program was announced on April 26 by Mayor John Tory and Police Chief Mark Saunders.
A now-deleted Tweet posted by a Toronto Police officer on Tuesday clearly showed personal information of participants in the city’s gun buy-back program. The Toronto Sun has obscured the personal information revealed in the photo.I said at the time that the program was unlikely to get guns out of the hands of gangsters and so far, that appears to be the case.
In the photos tweeted out by Const. Sayedzadeh, a series or hunting rifles and shotguns are seen laid out on the floor along with a group of pistols on a table.
Foolishly, the property tags containing key personal information were not removed, blocked out or otherwise made unreadable.
“That is putting it mildly,” said the man at the end of the phone when asked if he is pissed off at the cops for putting out his personal information.
Once made aware of the tweet, TPS deleted it and apologized.
“We regret the error and the concern it has caused for the individual. The tweet was removed immediately upon notice. We will review this occurrence and take steps to avoid similar issues in the future,” said spokesperson Allison MacNeil Sparkes.
Is that enough for exposing the personal info of someone that turned in guns?
They could now be the target of thieves looking for more guns.
This is inexcusable.
Beyond putting out personal data that the police should be charged with protecting, it appears that the Toronto Police Service is also overpaying in its gun buyback program.
“What I see from that picture is someone that figured they could get $350 instead of $50-$150,” said Mark Morelli.
Morelli is a retired Hamilton police officer and an avid gun collector.
As the man behind The Canadian Gun Vault, Morelli is familiar with the prices that the guns in the photos would get on the open market.
While TPS would love to pat itself on the back for getting pistols “off the street,” Morelli insists they overpaid for guns that had nowhere else to go.
“This is obviously part of a collection. They are all of the same type and prohibited,” Morelli said in an interview.
Some collectors who were licensed and legally-owned certain types of guns prior to the Liberal gun control legislation enacted in 1995 were grandfathered and allowed to keep those guns.
But since they can only sell to similarly licenced people, Morelli said the market is diminishing and most of the pistols in the photo would fetch between $50 and $150 if sold to another collector.
“He’s getting $350 for guns with diminishing value,” Morelli said.
Gun buyback programs like this are mostly about giving police a chance to grandstand and say they are doing something to get guns off the streets.
They rarely, if ever, actually get crime guns off the streets and instead collect old plinkers and guns from collectors.
Now they’ve gone a step further, they have not only overpaid, they are putting people’s safety on the line.
Someone needs to be held to account over this.

Toronto star Publisher Torstar continues to Lose Money
Torstar Corp. saw a 50 per cent rise in paid digital subscriptions in the first quarter, as the company which owns the Toronto Star continues to build its digital-first strategy with offerings including a partnership with tech giant Apple.
The Toronto-based media company, which owns several daily and more than 80 weekly newspapers, as well as shares in a number of digital-only properties, had a net loss in the first quarter of $7.4 million (9 cents per share), up from a loss of $14.5 million (18 cents per share) in the same period of 2018. The first-quarter results also included a one-time gain of $18 million in digital media tax credits.
“We continued to make good progress on our journey towards a digital future that combines the power of data with our deep roots in journalism to develop new and growing digital subscription and advertising revenue streams,” said John Boynton, president and CEO of Torstar, and publisher of the Toronto Star.
During the first quarter, Torstar entered into a partnership with Apple which will see Star content made available on Apple News +, Apple’s new paid subscription service which launched in late March. The Star receives a share of Apple News + subscription revenue, and can also sell ads to be paired with Star content on the service.
The company also said it ended the quarter with over 15,000 digital-only paid subscribers on thestar.com, up from almost 10,000 at the end of 2018.
In 2018, Torstar began a major national expansion of its Metro urban commuter newspapers, providing enhanced original news content to customers in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax.
That content is among the offerings now available on thestar.com. Content of thestar.com has been further strengthened with Torstar’s 2018 acquisition of iPolitics, an Ottawa-based specialized provider of in-depth coverage of federal and provincial politics and policy developments.
The company saw $22 million in print advertising revenue for its daily papers in the first quarter, down from $29 million a year ago, while print advertising in its community papers fell to $19 million from $22.8 million. Subscription revenue across the company rose slightly to $29.6 million from $29.5.
“We remain pleased with the performance of our subscriber revenue and flyer distribution revenue which represent a significant portion of our revenue base ... These categories are a source of strength for us as we focus our efforts on growing new digital revenue streams while managing declines in print advertising,” Boynton said.
Torstar ended the quarter with $52 million in cash and cash equivalents, and has no debt.
