Let's Spill Harper before he spills on us!

Hey all you heavy-hearted lefties out there,

We are in the last weeks of our Mindbombs campaign, an initiative which harks all the way back to the birth of Adbusters. 25 years ago, determined to get on TV under the same rules and conditions as corporations do, we produced a series of provocative anti-ads and uncommercials like the burping pig Buy Nothing Day spot and the Economists Must Learn To Subtract! blast against the economics profession — all of which were rejected by major broadcast networks around the world.

Now in this era of YouTube and crowdfunding we’re giving it another go … and this time if we get rejected we have constitutional lawyers waiting in the wings.

We’re taking aim at the Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, who has spent the past 9 years systematically eroding democratic process, censoring critical voices and pushing for the expansion of the Alberta tar sands, one of the dirtiest and most environmentally harmful industries on the planet.

Under Harper’s reign Canada has become an international pariah, consistently vilified as one of the worst eco-offenders at United Nations climate change negotiations.

With the climate talks coming up in Paris this December and a federal election in Canada this fall, this is the perfect moment to launch a campaign to oust Canada’s petro-dictator. Help us air this 15-second attack ad against Prime Minister Harper multiple times during the NHL hockey playoffs!

After that we’re going after America’s most criminal mega corporations (EXXON, Pfizer, Monsanto, Goldman Sachs) with a flurry of 30-second mindbombs on CNN and FOX.

Let the meme wars begin!

for the wild,
Team Adbusters
