What's your point?
Are you attacking the integrity of the Heart & Stroke Foundation? If so, you may want to back it up with a bit of evidence, as that's a fairly hefty accusation imo.
Overall I think the label itself is a good thing, because most people have absolutely no idea what to buy and don't want to take the time to educate themselves. At least the Heart & Stroke foundation provides some very basic guidelines that assist these people to make decent food selections. Even if they promote certain brands or products for self-interested purposes, I think it's still beneficial for people who would otherwise have no idea what to buy.
Example: the Heart and Stroke foundation may recommend Adams All-Natural Peanut Butter over Skippy All-Natural Peanut Butter even though the latter has less sodium content per serving. They're still recommending a health-conscious product even if it's not the very best product available.
Of course, anyway who wants to research this sort of thing will obviously not follow their recommendations to the letter and will compare labels, etc.
Anyway, I certainly think it makes a lot more sense to buy products that are recommended by the Heart and Stroke Foundation than it does to eat an all-meat diet recommended by one rogue doctor in a 6-week fad diet book.
