Is there any question about the legality of firing someone over incidents outside the workplace? I don't believe the incident is "illegal activity", and if it is not, on what premise can an employer take such an action?

I believe an employer could lay one off for almost any reason - save those protected by the Charter. The question would be whether the terms of his employment covered this in some fashion. If so, I would imagine he could be laid off with cause. If not, then I guess they would/could have packaged him out. Which, if he got a new job quickly would ironically be to his benefit.
Of course, since his name is now out there and forever tied to this stupidity, he's probably going to be facing some awkward questions in future job interviews.
