Try the Office of Consumer and Corporate Affairs.  The RCMP or other law
enforcement agency have nothing to do with false advertising as it does not
fall into the category of "criminal law".  You could call the Better
Business Bureau, if you have one in your area, but they are not an
enforcement agency.  They will log the complaint and keep a record, but
they do not act on behalf of consumers.

If you call the Office of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, have all the info
(names, dates, times, printed material ) ready.  You will be asked to put
it all in writing so you might have that prepared ahead of time.  Also be
ready to insist they act, as they will try to dissuade you because of the
sheer amount of calls they get.  Get the name of the person who will be
handling your complaint so you will be able to call back if  they don't
respond the first time. 

Also, if you have a tv or radio consumer advocate show in your area, call
them.  It can't hurt.
