Interesting that you would say that Lanny, because the entire concept of "At will employment" doesn't exist in Canada, so...no, that's no true.

There is no such thing as ‘at will employment’ in Canada. The concept of ‘at will’ employment simply doesn’t exist here. In Canada, under the common law, absent just cause for dismissal, employees are per se hired for an indefinite term and they are thus entitled to reasonable notice of termination or pay in lieu.

They can be relieved at their duties at any point but you have to pay them and saying that they get nothing is pretty much entirely wrong. C-suite executives often will get a very healthy severance package if they're terminated.
