New ShitHarperDid ad to receive television debut tonight during CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada
The group behind the ShitHarperDid videos from the last federal election will be taking a new ad to national television this evening.
Through a crowdfunded campaign, the political comedians raised enough money to run their latest video 100 times, including spots during NHL playoff games. The ad will air for the first time during the Ottawa Senators vs. Pittsburgh Penguins game on CBC tonight, sometime during first period around 5:00 p.m.
Among the stats highlighted in the ad are figures about the average household debt, and the number of Canadians relying on food banks.
“The ad will air in direct competition with the Harper Government's controversial taxpayer-funded playoff hockey ad campaign for Canada’s ‘Economic Action Plan’,” a news release from the group reads.
ShitHarperDid’s Indiegogo campaign raised $76,412, with 15 percent of the profits going to the Canadian Food Bank.

Look out "Steve" & company! None other than Noam Chomsky has said humour is the most effective method to defeat facists.

If they're running the ads head to head with Action Plan propaganda, the best tactic is to point out how much each of those ads cost.
