I was terminated for reading a article at work about Donald Trump, I live in Canada, the article was about how he supported Alabama states open carry law. I was reading it on my lunch with my coworkers and I was overheard and somebody thought I was going to bring a firearm to work.
When I was taken to HR to ask about the insistent I admitted the truth that I was reading an article and how it may have been inappropriate. They asked me to leave the premise and I did and two days later I received a letter from registered mail that I have been let go.
After some time had passed I was trying to apply for unemployment and while I was talking to the worker, they told me that the reason I was terminated was because I threaten to harm another co-worker. Which I never did. I warned them that the blade was sharp and they shouldn't hold onto it that way otherwise they'll cut themselves, she misinterpreted what I said and took it out of context. She went to HR saying that I threaten to hurt her which I would NEVER do to anybody. That is the reason that HR gave to the government employment office as to why I got terminated. Not because of the article.
I never knew about the offical reason until I was asked about it on the phone from the government office. It was never brought up in the meeting at HR.
