What are the terms for wrongful dismissal

Being dismissed for asking too many questions

So I had a family emergency Friday May 25th and was at the hospital until 1 am. I informed my employer around 12 am that I would not be able to be in for my shift as I could not leave the family member alone. The employer has said this is not a real emergency and waited until I asked them on Friday June 1 at 4 pm if I was coming for my shift tomorrow (saturday june 2 11 am) they porceeded to tell me no unless I brought a note from the hospital regarding the personal issue of the family member. In the end I now have no job and am wondering if I can file a wrongful dismissal claim with the labour board? I have been on and off with this employer for the past 13 years. I have been back with them since January 2018.

I am a contracted consultant with a prominent financial services company. I pay a monthly "usage fee" in order to use their softwares etc... I have been contracted for over 2 years. I receive $0 in salary. I am being dismissed for reasons that have to do with low productivity. Do I have any rights in this situation or can they simply terminate my contract?
