HarperPac might be done, but Engage Canada is still chugging along.

A day after Conservative strategists shut down the third party organization they launched to counter the anti-Harper campaign by Engage Canada — a group run by Liberal and NDP supporters and funded in part by union money — the latter released its second television ad on Tuesday.

It’s called “Heartbeat”. It takes aim at what it calls the Harper government’s deep cuts to health care. And it does this to an intense soundtrack of palpitations.

“For generations, Canadians have known that taking care of each other means taking care of our health, yet the Harper Conservatives have buried a $36 billion dollar cut to health care in their budget’s fine print. Their plan means longer wait times, fewer nurses, and cuts to women’s health,” it says, referring a Parliamentary Budget Officer analysis.

Their first ad, “Neglect”, focused on rising income inequality and drew the ire of some economists — Laval University’s Stephen Gordon, among the loudest — for being a tad selective with the data it chose to make its case.

The press release that announced the Friday ad release, presumably drafted before anyone in the group saw that HarperPac is no more, actually uses HarperPac to justify its existence.

“For far too long right-wing Super PACs have monopolized the political discussion in Canada and now they’re multiplying, seen recently with the launch of HarperPAC, just the latest group of Stephen Harper’s friends and former staffers working to protect Conservative insiders’ privilege,” it says.

With HarperPac gone, however, some notable voices — former Chief Electoral Officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley, for example — are now calling for Engage Canada to follow suit.
