Termination from writing my own doctors sickness notes for absentism while under the influence of drugs/alcohol

Hello, I've been working at the same company for 3.5 years. Our marketing company is hired to promote sell/credit cards. I was working one day during my shift, my manager wanted to speak with me. Apprently our client the person we promote the cards for asked for me to be removed from the program. The reason why is because on occasion i was signing the customer up for 2 credit cards. This was with the customer consent because we get audited. If there was any complaints from the customer they would always notify us. I received no warning, not even written up. And I was given my termination papers. My termination papers states, with cause. However, when I confronted the account manager, he told me there was a communication piece sent out regarding "double applications" yet I did not receive anything Regarding that, he proceed to argue with me saying it was sent out but it wasn't because if I did I knew I would have not signed up a customer for two cards. My manager did encourage me and other representatives to do it aswell. When I asked about my bonuses (12) away from hitting and severance pay, he told me I don't get it, because I've been terminated with cause, but I never received a warning/complaint/nor was I sent out a communication piece regarding dual cards. Am I entitled to anything?

I'm entering a new employment contract and first time i see "Termination Without Cause" (Non-Cause Termination). Is that legal?

I was let go from my job due to having a few sick days. My employer knows I have underlying health issues and had agreed to work around it. A member of my family became ill, requiring my attention for a week. I requested the week off and was told I was being let go. I was the assistant manager, I feel she could have demoted me or given me some notice. She also forced me to quit my second job in order to keep the job at her business, she then fired me a week later. She knows of my poor health and poor financial situation. What can I do to justify this situation? There has to be some way I can take her to the labour board.
