Can you be terminated after 30 years of service for a mistake

I was terminated from my employment in 2012 and have filed a complaint with Labour Canada and a adjudicator has been assigned but the complaint is being held in obeyance until results if another complaint I filed against my former employer with CHRC which is going to conciliation in July 2015. The concilitator for CHRC has informed me that the Labour Canada complaint will try to be included in the possible settlement and I was wondering how to structure and document the workding as not to pay taxes on the amount awarded if so agreed upon by both parties.

Whatb if others are doing what you alledgedly got fired for and they are not being fired?

i was moved from vp of operations to vp of business development and then had my salary rolled back 20,000. can i not claim wrongful dismissal

What is considered wrongful dismissal and how do you prove it? ESA states that employers don't need reasons to fire you. How are any of us safe when employers can just say "you don't meet the requirements we expect from our employees" after a year and a half of positive feedback about our work ethic? Can a company terminate your employment without any warning signs that you are doing a job improperly?
