This is going to be very difficult, given the way our legal system works.
If you take them to court and win your suit, all you get is a claim which 
you then have to enforce.  If you were local, you could get the local 
marshall to march in with you and literally take the money from their 
cash registers.  But from Canada you can't do much.

If you get some governmental agency involved, they could in principle
fine the company, or even shut them down.  But that wouldn't get you your
money back either.  Only if the company gets enough pressure from the Feds
to agree to give you your money will you ever see a dime under these 
circumstances.
