Well, it depends on the province. Some provincial labour laws are more liberal than others.

I would also echo some comments here, including:

1. I think that you have 2 weeks severance in lieu of notice, plus accumulated vacation time.

2. You want to leave on a good note, since getting fired and being a prick about it can come back to bite you in the ass further down in your career.

3. You want to be a cop and you lost your cool like that in an emotional situation? Where I live, police candidates have to undergo a polygraph exam. Breathe deep and remember with pride the laws you broke by placing nails (mischief) and breaking keys (destruction of property). I think you have a long way to go before you get hired on with the cops. When you say that you have to be 25 and non-white to make it into the cops: Take a step back. Look at what just happened and ask if you would want a cop to act the way you did. If you want it, act like it, in every way and at all times.

4. What skills do you have? It sounds like you have a good work ethic, and to be that upset about losing your job is a good thing, actually. It shows that you put your heart into the work. If it was a "journey" trade then you are golden. Walk across the street and get a better job. If you were getting that much money for something like delivery driver or parts guy then you must have known that the gravy train would end eventually.
