I worked as a receptionist for a company for 4 years and then I was terminated and given two weeks severance but was made to work for those two weeks. Is that allowed.

Good morning, I was working for a company doing dispatch/logistics. Covid hit in 2020 and was permanently laid off. Because the company is a U.S company (General Motors) based in Cambridge, Ontario everyone was paid from a third party temp agency. I had the agency email me notifying that due to shortage of work that they they were unable to bring me back. I had siblings who did expedite freights for this company who notified me stating there was another gentleman who had replaced me shortly after I was layed off. Due to this being back in 2020-06-09 is there anything I could do about it?

Hi..just wondering if you worked for a company for 2 years and 8 months ..and they have a safety bonus review every 4 months for which I passed everytime...and than one day had a minor accident..a strap on the load broke and some pipes fell off the trailer...that day after the clean up..I went back to office and was told because I was never written up for anything before that they weren't sure what to do ..so they said to go home and that I was suspended until further notice...the next day I was called to be at the office for the next morning..ok..so i went ..just to find out that they are letting me go without any notice or anything...no severance or termination pay....can they just let u go because they told me they just been in court the Friday before and they had to listen to 8 or 9 impact statements from a previous incident that happened the year before...one of the company driver had an accident that killed someone and they told me that scared them..and never again...so I was let go just like that....so wondering if that's wrongful dismissal..?
