Fired without reason...

I was released from work with the excuse of "I just don't want you working here anymore". Stress and losing sleep were also added to his list of why I had to go...poor excuse at best, but employers don't have to give you a reason for termination. Upon my release, I was asked to sign a release form which largely covered the terms of my release and all monies owed as per Canadian labour laws. This form also stated that upon signing, I have agreed that I had a chance to seek legal advice and agree to the terms of dismissal. Unfortunately I signed. Hindsight, probably not the best action as I believe that I had a wrongful dismissal case here. This is where I need a little clarity ...
Within the "terms" of my release form, signed by my employer as well by me, is a condition that greatly benefits me. An "error" or "typo" was overlooked. Obviously not "proof read" the document states that my employee benefits would end June 30th 2102. I signed the form because of this gift. What's my next course of action? Need a little legal know how on this.
 
Fired without reason is also called the wrongful termination. Wrongful termination is a termination that occurs with no legitimate or valid reason.Although it's hard to believe termination due to age discrimination, racial discrimination, and other forms of illegal terminations happen all the time.

There is so much incorrect in this post that I will simply refer anyone reading it to google, employment at will. I don't know Canadian law so I can't say if a reason for a termination is required there, but in the US it is not.
