I’ve been wrongfully terminated and would like to sue my employer. But I’d like to know what are my chances before I go ahead with this.

I started with a security company on July 24th. They found me on linked in and asked me to quit my mon-fri 8-4 job that i had been at for over 3 years to come be a senior supervisor for them. last week October 12th i was terminated without cause. I was the first women at this site and also the first senior employee. I issued post orders for the site and was requested to implement ministry standards of the security standards act. The team i was supervising did not want to met ministry standards and threatened to quit if i stayed to enforce these policies. Which were changing in a change room instead of in front of me and wearing a name tag as ministry required. I know the supervisors had personal issue with me that were no fault of my own. They escorted me off site but did issue me a paycheck with the amount i was owed plus one weeks pay of 40 hours. Do i have any grounds as now i am unemployed after years of hard work in security im at sqaure one.
