Canadian Law/misleading advertising

Advertisement


Question
does an advertisement; a coupon offering " buy this "product"  between  
March 1
and March 31,  this year,  with the chance to win a "valuable consideration",
which  shows  "one of a line of the product" without an identifiable model
number,  and no  printed  retail cost,  but with a price quote/month and no
terms(ie no number of payments or term stated), constitute misleading
advertising. And further if this is inadvertently offered in a province not
intended by the sponsor,  is it still considered a viable offer? (wow- stupid
question, since the offer is not clear to begin with;  which, since it is not
clearly defined  what is actually being offered, does this of itself lead to the
conclusion,  this is in fact a misleading  advertisement?(aka an illegal
enticement)

Answer
I do not have an answer to this one, you should contact the Advertising Council of Canada.
