First it was SARSstock and this year it will be Terrorstock?

Canadian Press is reporting that Senator Jerry Grafstein, former Liberal MP Dennis Mills and political consultant Warren Kinsella – the men behind the 2003 benefit concert in Downsview Park to show the world Toronto was safe from SARS – are planning a day to show that Torontonians are not afraid of terrorist attacks.

The event will be held June 25 and is called “I Am Not Afraid.” Little is known about the planned day, except a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets, which may have some celebrities in attendance.

The event comes after 17 men were arrested in the greater Toronto Area for allegedly planning a terrorist attack on Canada. Reported targets included Parliament Hill, Bay Street in Toronto and the CBC.

More details will be released next week.
