My Treat Gift Card Visacitizensbank Of Canada another large company rips off kids Vancouver Ontario

Reading the fine print is one thing, but following Canada's legal system is another. On Oct 1, 2007 expiry dates were eliminated on gift cards to protect consumers. This was also to apply to erroneous charges to maintain the cards, but that part may have never come to fruition.  I called in today about my giftcard of only $25 to find out that it was cancelled - not fee'd to death, but cancelled because it wasn't used within 8 months (bought in April 09', killed in Dec 09'). My understanding of the law is that this is in direct violation of the Canadian law on giftcards. 

Card companies are enormously profitable, and I applaud them for that, but when it comes to simply ripping people off?  $25 was put in their trust plus an admin fee - and they took it all.  Fees? Fine Print? What about simply right and wrong. BTW the link to the law is :http://www.mgs.gov.on.ca/en/News/133713.html. It's only $25 but I'd spend the time in court to see the company be forced to treat their customers right.
