I changed to working part time and well knowing that I have a busy schedule and they were okay with it.
A week later, they call me up and say I'm not working anymore and I'm fired because they don't want any part time workers and they hired another guy.
So now I'm suddenly left with the feeling of "what the fuck."

Yes it's legal :X
Some industries like education have unions for teachers that prevents stuff like this (but aren't really helpful)

They should send you (or have you pick up) a final check for any hours you worked after your last check.

Legal: You can be terminated at any given time. I once got fired for a job and wasn't told about it until I had to get someone to let me in since my card stopped working when I came in for work the next day.
Not Legal: Holding money for the hours you've worked after your last pay period. Even if you worked 15 minutes you should get that 15 minute's worth. However method you normally get paid in.
Unfortunately, many businesses operate at the owner's needs, not at their employee's needs. If I was a manager though, even if I can't promise not to be strict and stingy, I would definitely take good care of my employees. And not take shit from customers.

Sorry I think you don't understand.
My employee badge is the card that lets me get into the building, since the doors are locked 24/7

US labour laws doesn't seem to really protect employees very much. What they did would be illegal here. If you want to make a position redundant here, you wouldn't be allowed to hire anyone in that or any similar position for 12 months and you'd have to pay the person being layed off a severance of 2 weeks pay for each year they were employed at your company. (Could even be more depending on the number of years they've worked there.)

They can fire you anytime but they have to pay you 2 weeks salary.
They also have to provide you with your tax papers for the period of time you worked there for 2012 (usually will be in early 2013).

Wouldn't that only apply to salary workers?
People paid on an hourly wage, especially one with volatile work hours, will have an incredibly difficult time claiming this.

Don't know about the rest of canada but that's how it is over here.
Even my sister who got fired from mcdonalds after 2 months of work got 2 weeks severance pay.

Honestly, anything practical from a business standpoint is basically legal. Sucks bro.
