I was wrongfully fired for threatening another co- worker at work while it was just me and him. Their evidence for my threat is the manager over heard me saying it while he was talking to my co-worker is that sufficient evidence for me to get fired? The same manager backed the co -worker after I filed for assault case after he touched me and it’s all on camera.

An employer can terminate you for whatever reason they chose, so long as they provide you with a severance package. If an employer initially chooses to terminate you for just cause, they do not have to provide you with a severance package. However, just cause is a very high standard to meet in Canada so we would need more information to determine if your employer had just cause to terminate you or not.
