I just got fired for absolutely no reason, no prior talking too nothing position wasn't terminated is this fair or can i fight this

I have been terminated last December due to illness. I was employed with a construction company for about 10 years then the company was sold to another construction company. I had to leave my job due to lung cancer. I have been denied long term disability, There reason for this is that I didn't work for 40 hrs a week for 20 consecutive, and they say I am a seasonal worker. I was working on asphalt, and as soon as the snow came I was plowing snow for the same company. They also took my life insurance away. Was never offered a severance package for either one of the companies. I had Lung surgery Feb 2017, everything was going well no chemo no radiation. Then in late March saw my own doctor, Ended up going back to se oncologists. turned out I have stage 4 lung cancer. And had no income until I applied for CP disability. Question is should I be receiving either a severance package or long term disability or life insurance after all I paid into it. Also the company asked us to pay our share of my insurance, until I spoke to someone and was told the company has to pay it.

I missed it just to go in and get fired also paid more to bus than I made today and had no warning I've had no issues just praises.

I am 29 weeks pregnant and was terminated Oct 29, with no warning. My position was sales in a pharmacy. I was told it was a business decision, as the dept wasn’t making any money. The dept is still open and work is ring divided between 3 current employees. I wasn’t offered a transfer of position within the store (there is a position currently needing to be filled). I was told about one and a half weeks after I told my employer I was pregnant that she didn’t know if there would be a position for me soon, as sales had been down for the past two years. I had 3 meetings following, with more being written up. I have also spoken to a counsellor for three years and have been speaking to her about the harassment and bullying from my supervisor. I’m not sure if I have a case for wrongful dismissal, as they have fired me without cause and offered a 14 week settlement.

I am dismissed without knowing the reason. I am not given any warning before. I was called to the office and handover the dismissal paper
