Canadian voters, prepare for the PAC attack.

HarperPAC, a new, pro-Conservative political action committee, is launching an ad campaign aimed at promoting Prime Minister Stephen Harper and taking on third-party groups that are trying to defeat the Tory government in the fall election.

Organized by some longtime Harper supporters, HarperPAC says it “aims to defend the interests of everyday Canadians against the tide of cash from professional leftist agitators and big union bosses that has been earmarked to take down the Conservative government.”

Its first radio spot attacks Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and says he is not ready to be prime minister.

“After months of mistakes, Justin Trudeau’s poll numbers are free-falling. Canadians from coast to coast now think he is unfit to be prime minister,” says the voiceover in the 29-second ad. “But who does Trudeau blame for his low poll numbers? He blames Canadian voters … Can we really trust him to make hard decisions as prime minister?”
